Chapter 1626: Chapter 807_4
Zhou Shengqing listened carefully, nodding repeatedly, and then solemnly accepted the Three Lights Divine Water and the Infant Formation Experience summarized by Chen Mobai. He also thanked him on behalf of Mo Douguang.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with Fu Zongjue, catching up on what had happened in the sect during his Nascent Soul Formation period.
However, everything had been calm and uneventful.
The demonic beast tide over at Yun Meng Ze had been quelled by the Five Elements Sect, and the Five Elements merce Association had begun setting up trade routes across the Eastern Wilderness, East Yi, and East Land. Yue Zutao started opening up markets in the rural areas of East Land, flooding small clans and minor sects with talisman paper and ink produced by the puppet factories.
As it turns out, no matter where one is, low prices are always the most enticing strategy.
The talisman paper produced by the puppet factories was not only cheap but also of superior quality. Its stability in conducting spiritual power with talisman ink was nearly flawless, exhibiting no fluctuations whatsoever.
Faced with a clear parison of quality and Spirit Stone costs, these small clans, minor sects, and even loose cultivator talisman makers quickly and decisively chose the Five Elements merce Association.
For now, their efforts were concentrated in the lower-tier markets, but following Chen Mobai’s strategic guidance, Yue Zutao continued to focus on deeply penetrating these areas, prioritizing affordability and quality to dominate the low-level talisman paper and ink market in East Land first.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before the Five Elements merce Association grew rapidly and became unstoppable.
However, Yue Zutao remained pragmatic. In his recent correspondence, he made it clear that the sect needed to dispatch more powerful cultivators to oversee matters; otherwise, when the major powers in East Land found themselves unable to block Five Elements merce Association through mercial means, they might resort directly to force.
Although Chen Mobai had some romanticized perceptions of East Land’s central region due to his interactions with people like Ye Qing, Yuan Zhen, and even Chef Shen of the Sky Meal Building, Yue Zutao’s letter reminded him that crows everywhere are equally black.
“Let Nephew Yue seek assistance from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect for now. Once I’ve eliminated Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, I’ll look into the sect to see who might be more suitable.”
In the past, Chen Mobai had been eager to personally head to East Land, especially after achieving Nascent Soul Formation. He had even entertained the idea of visiting First Origin Dao Palace’s gates and paying respects.
But after the Beidou Conference, the death of the Flying Sand Sect’s Sand-handling Officer made him realize that keeping a low profile was wiser.
For now, he decided to spend more time developing in the Eastern Wilderness. Once he had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage or even Great Perfection, he would go to First Origin Dao Palace and rightfully claim the identity of the Primordial Taoist Child.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai wasted no time.
After bidding farewell to Fu Zongjue, he directly used the medium teleportation array to head to Northern Abyss City.
He didn’t linger there long, merely greeting Yuan Chiye before concealing his presence and heading toward the Aosang Valley Other Yard in the ruins.
Having been to Aosang Valley once before during the Beidou Conference, Chen Mobai was familiar with the way.
This time, traveling on the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo was even faster.
However, upon arriving, he discovered that Elder Muqin’s aura was gone.
Dead?
Or away on a journey?
Hovering in midair, Chen Mobai used the Echoes in the Void technique to listen for the spiritual power fluctuations of the cultivators below.
Although the Rank-4 Large Formation presented a barrier, utilizing this Longevity Sect grand spell with his current Nascent Soul Realm strength allowed him to listen through the array to the fluctuations of Foundation Establishment cultivators and above.
Soon, he locked onto the only Core Formation fluctuation present in the area.
Not only was Elder Muqin absent, but even True Person Ming Wen was no longer here.
Only Yi Chenghan remained.
With the help of the Spiritual Energy Rice Cooker and Purple Jade Porridge, Yi Chenghan had already broken through to the Core Formation Late Stage. Now, as he diligently consumed elixirs and refined spirit qi to accelerate his realm, it seemed he was striving to break through the Nascent Soul Formation checkpoint.
Since no Nascent Soul cultivators were overseeing the place, Chen Mobai had no fear of the Rank-4 Large Formation. He stepped directly into the void with Void Walk, appearing right before Yi Chenghan.
“Who’s there?”
As expected of the East Yi formation sect Aosang Valley, their arrays were equipped with monitoring functions for Void magic. As soon as Chen Mobai entered, Yi Chenghan was startled awake. Rising to his feet, he grabbed an array plate, mobilizing the power of the large formation and harnessing the local spirit veins without hesitation to attack the mysterious figure shrouded in Five-Colored Clouds before him.
In an instant, countless bamboo shadows appeared, acpanied by whistling green flashes. They seemed like thousands of swords darting through the air, converging from all directions upon Chen Mobai.
But with just a thought, Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense activated. The Five-Colored Clouds surrounding him flowed like shifting hues of dawn and dusk, effortlessly deflecting all the ining green flashes.
No matter how many bamboo shadows Yi Chenghan summoned, they could only penetrate the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo in front of Chen Mobai, unable to advance any further.
Soon, a massive Bamboo Shadow Green Mang Ball formed before Yi Chenghan. However, at its center, the Five-Colored Clouds grew denser and brighter under the array’s pressure.
Yi Chenghan’s heart sank pletely at this moment!
He realized that the person before him was a Nascent Soul cultivator!
And the magic artifact he wielded was undoubtedly a superior-quality Rank-4 Defensive Magic Weapon.
Only such a bination could so easily withstand his Rank-4 formation’s power without even taking a single step.
“Where is Elder Muqin?”
Chen Mobai’s intentionally modulated voice echoed from the center of the Bamboo Shadow Green Mang Ball. Since mastering the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, he hadn’t yet unleashed its full might.
The first reason had been his previous insufficient cultivation level; the second, his lack of a worthy opponent.
Now seemed to be the perfect opportunity.
The Rank-4 formation’s power was equivalent to the Power of the Yuan Infant.
Unfortunately, Yi Chenghan’s cultivation level was still too low, and Chen Mobai felt no real pressure.
As he spoke, he channeled his boundless Pure Yang True Qi into the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo before him. Acpanied by a crackling sound—
The giant Bamboo Shadow Green Mang Ball shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions…
