The Primordial Clock reminded once again, and Chen Mobai imdiately recalled its initial condition.
[Not enough spiritual energy?]
But Mount Wudi is a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, isn’t that enough?
[Indeed, although I have accumulated a considerable amount of spiritual energy over the millennia, if I want to advance to a Sixth Rank Superior Grade at once, I’ll need to absorb most of Mount Wudi’s Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, which would likely degrade it to a re Fifth Rank Spirit Vein...]
After the Primordial Clock clarified, Chen Mobai finally understood why generations of God-Transcending cultivators in Yi Yuan Dao Palace had never intervened to aid the Primordial Clock in its ascension.
After all, if a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein was the price, nobody would be willing.
Even in cultivating to divinity, spiritual energy is still necessary.
Sacrificing the spiritual resources of a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein for the Primordial Clock’s advancent would make future cultivation for Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s God-Transcending cultivators incredibly difficult.
[I’d actually be very willing to use Mount Wudi’s spirit vein to aid in your ascent, venerable senior.]
However, Chen Mobai was different.
After all, the Sixth Rank Spirit Vein of Mount Wudi did not belong to him yet.
If he could use it to win over the Primordial Clock, Chen Mobai would not hesitate.
His main camp would remain in the Eastern Wilderness, and Mount Wudi, once conquered, would at most be developed into a branch sect of the Five Elents Sect.
As a branch sect, there was no need for such a high-quality Spirit Vein.
[Alright, alright, I will rember your words. If you truly ascend to divinity, I am willing to be refined by you.]
The Primordial Clock was pleased by Chen Mobai’s plans.
However, its spirituality was no less than that of a human, so it pragmatically decided to wait until Chen Mobai achieved divinity.
[Rest assured, venerable senior. Within a hundred years, I will co to Mount Wudi to take you to the Eastern Wilderness.]
Chen Mobai spoke with great confidence.
He already considered the Primordial Clock as sothing within his grasp.
After their conversation, the Primordial Clock infused a strand of spiritual light into Chen Mobai’s Sea of Consciousness at the Purple Mansion, and upon refining it, he discovered it contained information about the Yi Yuan Secret Realm in the Eastern Wilderness.
[This is the thod the master used to develop and renovate the Yi Yuan Secret Realm, as well as his insights on refining the Five Elents Spirit Tree for divinity. With this, you will fully receive the heritage he left in the Eastern Wilderness.]
These insights the Primordial Clock had once shared with Li Zhongji.
Unfortunately, Li Zhongji was constrained by the lack of resources in the Eastern Wilderness and ultimately passed away.
[Thank you, venerable senior.]
Once Chen Mobai finished refining it, he expressed his gratitude with joy.
Everything was trendously beneficial for him.
The first part would enable him to completely control the Yi Yuan Secret Realm, thereby allowing him to fully absorb and refine the secret realm by integrating it into his domain, establishing a foundation for the Law Domain. Among the gains was also a secret technique for utilizing the five Altars of State, which enabled Chen Mobai to incorporate Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Five Elents Great Dao into his domain.
Yet Chen Mobai, being cautious, feared that Yi Yuan True Monarch might have left so hidden tricks, so he planned to remove the altars from his domain after refining the secret realm. Later, they would beco the sacred land of legacy for the Five Elents Sect, offering elite genius disciples of the sect opportunities to compare and comprehend the Five Elents Great Dao of Yi Yuan True Monarch.
The criteria for this could be set high.
Limited to the ten greatest disciples of the sect or Golden Core cultivators.
As for the latter, it related to the secrets behind Yi Yuan True Monarch’s divinity formation.
Initially, he refined and absorbed the Five Elents Spirit Tree from Fifth Rank to Fourth Rank, mastering his Five Elents Great Dao, which eventually led to achieving divine ascension and condensing the Primordial Dao Fruit.
By sharing this insight with Chen Mobai, the Primordial Clock had virtually granted him the divinity formation wisdom of Yi Yuan True Monarch.
This equated to the treatnt granted to the Great Elder and Palace Master of Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
[Cultivate well.]
With this final advice, the Primordial Bell Spirit retreated back into slumber.
As a Sixth Rank Artifact, its activation resulted in a significant spiritual energy expenditure every mont, so it normally slept to minimize consumption and avoid depleting Mount Wudi’s spirit veins excessively.
Chen Mobai understood this very well.
After all, that’s how the magic artifacts of Immortal Gates operated.
But as an artifact that had seen grand spectacles, it had once survived alongside Yi Yuan True Monarch through seven layers of heavenly tribulations, experiences few artifacts throughout the Tianhe Realm could claim to share.
Thus, it was not lured by petty benefits; it only acknowledged genuine talent.
In its view, Chen Mobai demonstrated precisely that.
So similar to what it did with Li Zhongji, it offered him the chance for divine ascent.
Elated by these unexpected gains, Chen Mobai considered his journey to Mount Wudi a truly correct decision.
"Little ancestor, all the inheritances have been copied and packed, please review them."
At this mont, Ling Ming flew into Yi Yuan Hall, presenting a large storage bag with both hands to Chen Mobai.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Upon receiving it, Chen Mobai looked inside and found densely packed jade slips. Scanning their contents with the Heavenly Calculation Bead, he stored them away.
Because Earth Virtue was still in seclusion, recuperating, Chen Mobai could only bid farewell to Water Virtue and Wood Virtue, the two sect leaders.
These two, however, seed to have little affection for him, rely appearing cold-faced and activating the Mountain Protection Array.
"Until next ti, gentlen."
Leaving these words, Chen Mobai descended the mountain with Ling Ming.
In Yi Yuan Immortal City.
Seeing Chen Mobai, knowing now that Gold Virtue was a traitor to the Demon Path and it was all orchestrated by Earth Virtue to clear the demonic influence within Dao Palace, Lian Shui and the others looked at him with complex expressions.
Chen Mobai refrained from further interaction with Lian Shui and the others, as the centuries-old renown of Yi Yuan Dao Palace was not easily dismissed with Nascent Soul cultivators unwilling to submit without him achieving divinity.
"The Teleportation Array is ready, please proceed."
Personally adjusting the array, Lian Shui addressed Chen Mobai, seemingly wishing to send him off as swiftly as possible.
"This Immortal City is quite decent, almost comparable to my Northern Abyss City."
Before departing, Chen Mobai casually remarked to Ling Ming, who gently nodded.
"This place was originally an Immortal City under the Eastern Emperor Court, with additional developnt by Dao Palace lasting thousands of years, accumulating over tens of millennia of history and depth. Yet, compared to the Eastern Wilderness’s pearl, Northern Abyss City, it still falls short."
Ling Ming had spoken plainly, but to Lian Shui and the others, it seed like a jab.
Had Chen Mobai not already stepped into the Teleportation Array to leave, they might have been compelled to retort.
"People from East Wasteland Village, lacking manners indeed."
Elder Mysterious Water couldn’t help but spit out, she being Lian Shui’s sister, the two of them attaining Nascent Soul made an impressive tale here in East Land.
Only it was within the Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
With Water Virtue Sect Leader still present, the siblings could only attend to the outer sect, managing Yi Yuan Immortal City, but they felt a strong sense of belonging to the Dao Palace.
"This one’s Fire Attribute Technique has reached peak mastery, nearing an unprecedented level of the Dao Palace’s Fire Vein."
Elder Yan Huo, the last to speak, carried a grave expression after Chen Mobai left.
As a fire attribute Golden Core cultivator, he should have ascended to Mount Wudi, becoming the new Fire Virtue Sect Leader after Fire Virtue’s fall in the great righteous-demonic war.
But since Earth Virtue wanted to first clean the sect, the promotion was postponed.
Yet as companions of centuries, Lian Shui and Mysterious Water knew Yan Huo’s cultivation well.
He had long been at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage peak, having refined a Fifth Rank True Fire within Dao Palace, excelling in both Artifact Refining Technique and Fire Technique.
But facing Chen Mobai twice, he dared not utter a word.
Only those cultivating fire know how terrifying Chen Mobai’s cultivation realm is.
He was just a step away from Divinity Transformation, at the Nascent Soul Peak.
"Could this individual truly open a path to divinity that does not start with the Earth Elent?"
After hearing Yan Huo’s words, the Lian Shui siblings recalled Chen Mobai’s rapid rise and realized that he had filled the Five Elents Sect’s knowledge gap on content concerning post-Nascent Soul realms by gaining the entire Yi Yuan inheritance and could indeed do so.
If he did in fact achieve divinity, was their attitude during those two etings not welcoming enough?
