At present, Chen Mobai had no solutions, as he couldn’t possibly let his Sixth Rank Magic Artifact serve as the core of the Large Formation.
After that, Qing Nu relayed so positive news from the Five Elents Sect.
Among them, Mo Douguang and Yin Qingi had both successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Zhuo Ming also felt that his cultivation was complete and was preparing to form his Nascent Soul. Three new Golden Core Cultivators had joined, with two as Heterodox Golden Cores, which weren’t worth ntioning. The one who truly succeeded in Core Formation was Song Huangdae, Liu Wenbo’s disciple.
All these events filled Chen Mobai with joy.
They signified the flourishing of the Five Elents Sect and the Xiao Nanshan lineage.
"How is Ming’er now?"
Chen Mobai first inquired about this treasured disciple’s condition.
"She’s adjusting her Qi chanism; I’ve prepared all the Spiritual Objects needed for her Nascent Soul Formation, and she can take that step whenever she’s ready,"
Qing Nu replied, saying that Zhuo Ming’s foundation was arguably the most profound within the Five Elents Sect. As the Sect didn’t lack Nascent Soul Cultivators, Chen Mobai’s guidance to her was to naturally break through when the ti was right.
Consequently, although she reached Perfect Core Formation long ago, and even Body Forging of Fourth Rank, she hadn’t yet initiated a breakthrough, waiting for the opportunity where her Realm would naturally overflow.
After ten years in the Sixth Rank Spirit Vein of the Wandering Mountain, she finally felt it was ti.
"Good, good, good. Before heading to the Eastlands, let’s visit her first,"
Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction; Zhuo Ming had been cultivating under his watchful eye, reaching her current Realm, and she was the one he acknowledged as his successor. Now she was finally reaching the step of Nascent Soul Formation.
Speaking of which, Chen Mobai promptly stood up and teleported to Northern Abyss City with Qing Nu.
There, he t with several key figures of the Five Elents Sect.
Having taken a long ti to erge from seclusion, he t them lest they grow unfamiliar.
Before leaving Northern Abyss City, Chen Mobai summoned Song Huangdae.
As a third-generation disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, compared to the widely renowned Han Zhiling, he was relatively low-key, yet his accomplishnts were considerable, as he was quite industrious.
Aside from connecting departnts, Song Huangdae solved nurous Formation-related problems for the Five Elents Sect.
The Eastern Barbarians’ Sky Curtain Earth Network Formation was completed by him leading the Sect’s Array Masters. He was personally cultivated by Chen Mobai.
Having now completed Core Formation, he was even more useful.
With Zhuo Ming about to form her Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai intended to entrust the preliminary work of setting up the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation to him.
To this, Song Huangdae was deeply honored and vowed not to disappoint the ancestor’s expectations.
"Just do your best; this Formation is quite difficult, but I am confident in your experience that the groundwork will be solid...,"
Chen Mobai first eased Song Huangdae’s pressure, as the Celestial Stars Earth Luo Star Formation was of the Seventh Rank, and even if he’d broken the Array Diagram into a basic 360 pieces, it was still beyond an ordinary Array Master’s grasp.
He remained in Northern Abyss City for two days, managing Sect affairs, while using the map of the Five Elents Sect to teach Song Huangdae how to expand the Formation’s range. In the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier, 108 Spiritual Pivots have been established, and with so squeezing, a few dozen more might be usable. But further expansion had to extend beyond Sect lands.
And the potential directions for expansion were fourfold.
Boundless Sand Sea, Ruins, Mysterious Sea, and Desolate Sea.
Among these, resources and manpower have been invested in the Boundless Sand Sea annually by the Five Elents Sect, expanding three Rainbow-County-sized territories so far. As long as Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming remain with the Sect, this policy won’t cease.
Chen Mobai reserved a dozen Spiritual Pivots in the Sand Sea direction for future Formation coverage.
Next was the Ruins, currently requiring the most cultivators among the four directions.
After all, in the Mysterious Sea and Desolate Sea, any forces that dared oppose the Five Elents Sect had pretty much been dealt with by Chen Mobai.
This task was assigned to E Yun by Chen Mobai.
He planned to retire and relinquish the Sect Master’s position, and with E Yun nearing Perfect Core Formation, he could prepare for Nascent Soul Formation. Chen Mobai tasked him with developing Ruins adjacent to Sect lands, and if successful, it would be a grand achievent, justifying his assumption of the Sect Master position.
Excitedly, E Yun, who’s been Sect Master over a century, is finally stepping up.
Given the current strength of the Five Elents Sect, establishing Ruins should be a trivial matter.
"I will not fail in my mission,"
E Yun accepted the task, filled with confidence, ready to mobilize personnel.
Adjacent Ruins to the Five Elents Sect surely won’t host Rank-5 Demonic Beasts, but there are so Rank-4 ones, like the Golden-eyes Azure Toad, once having clashed at a distance with Chen Mobai.
With Chen Mobai’s strength, he could now easily slay it, but his many commitnts left no ti.
Moreover, this beast is adept at concealing its Qi, and when Chen Mobai used Divine Sense during a previous visit, he failed to locate it, so he postponed until now.
Since E Yun is an insider and has a small grudge against the Golden-eyes Azure Toad, Chen Mobai’s arrangent was considered.
He took out an unused gourd-shaped Magic Artifact from his Law Domain, gifting it to E Yun: "Take this; within is a Rank-5 Primordial Yang Sword Sha I refined. If you encounter a beast beyond managing, unleash it to slay."
"Thank you, Sect Master, for this precious gift,"
E Yun, the longest-standing direct lineage mber of the Five Elents Sect under Chen Mobai, knows the fad Sword Gourd intimately. Many formidable cultivators and Demonic Beasts have perished beneath it.
Seeing Chen Mobai bestowing this treasure upon him imparts great confidence in the upcoming reclaimation.
After imparting the Sword Gourd’s mantra, Chen Mobai left Northern Abyss City with Qing Nu.
This trip to the Eastlands included, besides the token Little Yellow Dragon, Qing Nu brought her disciple Jin Ling’er and Five Elents Sect’s Alchemy Departnt Head Yan Jinye.
Chen Mobai took his younger disciple Jiang Zongheng and disciple’s grandchild Duan Shuyu.
The main purpose was to provide them insight into the Eastern Imperial Court’s ruins, serving as a lesson. Another reason was to ntor Duan Shuyu. Although talented, his late start on the Immortal Cultivation path risked insufficient lifespan.
Fortunately, by Mystic Fusion of All Transformations, Qing Nu deciphered the Profound Heaven Crow Golden Pill’s recipe, crafting a longevity pill for him.
However, even so, achieving Core Formation before lifespan ends remains challenging for Duan Shuyu.
His practice of the Longevity Sect’s Gold Immortal Scripture is profound and lacks precedent.
Luckily, after comprehending the Primordial Great Dao, Chen Mobai integrated Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Primordial Dao Fruit and Five Elents Dao Fruit, and could instruct.
Knowing Duan Shuyu’s predicant, Chen Mobai opted to accompany him to the Eastlands, teaching along the way.
Thus Jin Ling’er, another Gold Immortal Scripture disciple, received dual tutelage.
Upon arriving at the Eastern Barbarians via Teleportation Array, they detoured to Wandering Mountain.
"Greetings, Master and Mistress!"
The ladies Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan at the site saw the group descend from the sky and imdiately saluted, with Chen Mobai gesturing off the formality then dismounting from the Yellow Dragon.
"When do you plan to form your Nascent Soul?" Chen Mobai inquired, noticing Zhuo Ming’s Qi chanism was harmonious, Divine Sense clear, physical vitality robust, with practically no chance of failure in formation.
"Just waiting to inform Master," Zhuo Ming nodded respectfully, having seized the breakthrough opportunity a year ago.
But she felt reassured notifying Chen Mobai first.
"Then let’s proceed today; I’ll leave my Second Prival Spirit here to protect you,"
Chen Mobai’s words left Luo Yixuan envious. Once Zhuo Ming forms her Nascent Soul, it solidifies the Xiao Nanshan lineage’s legacy, extinguishing her hopes of inheriting the orthodoxy.
