On this day, Chen Mo Bai, who had been instructing Zhuo Ming in cultivation at the summit of Beiyuan Mountain, paused. He then rose, flicked his sleeves, and arrived above Chen Lingming's cave dwelling.
“Junior Martial Brother Sect Master!” Upon seeing him approach, Mo Douguang was the first to nod and greet him.
“You’ve worked hard, Senior Martial Brother Mo,” Chen Mo Bai replied courteously.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Shengqing had already returned to Greatwood Ridge. The golden jade spirit rice, now covering the mountains and plains there, was his personal treasure, which he, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, personally oversaw.
At this moment, the five-colored light emanating from Chen Lingming's cave dwelling below grew increasingly vibrant. Chen Mo Bai immediately acted, casting a Void Lock to seal the escaping Five Elements True Qi within the confines of the cave. If he hadn't intervened, this energy would have spread, at least destroying the entire street. This also indicated that Chen Lingming was currently at the most crucial juncture, unable to fully control even his own True Qi.
Rumble!
Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the sky. The Heavenly Tribulation was beginning to take shape.
Chen Mo Bai, who was spiritually connected with the Sky Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation, had already sensed this from Beiyuan Mountain's summit, thus deducing that Chen Lingming had successfully formed his Nascent Soul. Chen Mo Bai did not use the grand formation to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As a result, the energy gathering above Beiyuan City grew increasingly violent, quickly evolving into the nascent form of the Heavenly Tribulation.
“It seems he succeeded,” Mo Douguang remarked. He glanced at the tribulation clouds overhead, recalling his own Nascent Soul formation, and couldn't help but speak.
“After all, he's a Daoist Son of the One Origin, and his Primordial Chaos True Qi is inherently very helpful for forming a Nascent Soul,” Chen Mo Bai said. Using the Empty Valley Sound technique, Chen Mo Bai was even more aware of Chen Lingming's Nascent Soul formation progress than Chen Lingming himself.
As they spoke, the other Core Formation cultivators of the Five Elements Sect also sensed the Heavenly Tribulation taking shape. With trepidation, they flew into the sky and, upon seeing Chen Mo Bai's figure, immediately came forward to pay their respects.
“Inform all city residents that the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is approaching. However, Beiyuan City is protected by a grand formation, so there's no need to worry. But to prevent anyone from suffering a qi deviation due to the tribulation's commotion, it is advised that everyone refrain from meditating or cultivating during this period,” Chen Mo Bai instructed E Yun. The latter nodded and immediately flew back to arrange the matter.
Three more days passed. Chen Lingming's cave dwelling suddenly erupted with brilliant, dazzling five-colored light, engulfing and annihilating the entire cultivation chamber. Chen Mo Bai's Void Lock was instantly activated. As the five-colored light surged outwards, a seemingly thin silver glow appeared, blocking and intercepting it. The Primordial Chaos True Qi, which could break through all Five Elements, merely caused the faint silver glow to tremble slightly before being repelled.
At this moment, Chen Lingming's body trembled. The outward-surging five-colored light suddenly retracted, centering on him. Invisible ripples spread throughout the cave dwelling, and gradually, a small, five-colored figure emerged from above his head. The moment the Nascent Soul appeared, the supreme-grade spirit stones in Chen Lingming's hands instantly shattered. Mixed with the surrounding vast Five Elements spiritual energy, all were devoured by the Nascent Soul. Although Chen Mo Bai's Void Lock sealed Chen Lingming's cave dwelling, it did not prevent external spiritual energy from flowing in, demonstrating its exquisite precision.
In recent years, besides diligently cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, he had not neglected other Dao-protecting techniques. Apart from the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, currently his most powerful combat technique, he had practiced the Four Books of Grand Void most diligently. His talent in void manipulation was exceptional, and over the years of cultivation, his Void Lock had advanced to a higher level.
As the Tier 5 spiritual energy of Beiyuan City poured in, Chen Lingming's Nascent Soul finally emerged from his body, unleashing a powerful aura that caused Chen Mo Bai's Void Lock to subtly warp.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Tribulation in the sky was now fully formed. Within the pitch-black clouds, streaks of silvery-gray lightning flashed, carrying a terrifying might capable of annihilating all beings.
“Immortal Slaying Lightning!” Mo Douguang, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. “I never expected him to trigger the legendary Immortal Slaying Lightning. It seems this Daoist Son of the One Origin has an extraordinary foundation indeed!”
Chen Mo Bai looked at the silvery-gray lightning in the sky, feeling the terrifying fluctuations within, and was also slightly surprised. Immortal Slaying Lightning is one of the most powerful tribulation lightning types, rumored to contain destructive power capable of slaying immortals and gods. Most Soul Transformation cultivators who attempted to force their way through the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation perished under the Immortal Slaying Lightning. However, the Immortal Slaying Lightning triggered by Chen Lingming was certainly not complete; at most, it contained a wisp of its aura. But even so, it was still extremely terrifying for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
At this moment, Chen Lingming had already refined all the Five Elements spiritual energy into his Nascent Soul. The small Nascent Soul figure above his head gestured a salute to Chen Mo Bai and Mo Douguang, then submerged into his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.
“Thank you, two Ancestral Martial Uncles, for protecting me during my breakthrough!” Chen Lingming opened his eyes and thanked Chen Mo Bai again. After forming his Nascent Soul, his demeanor had undergone a dramatic transformation, yet his respectful attitude remained unchanged.
“Mm, since you've successfully formed your Nascent Soul, go undergo your tribulation. If you can't hold on, just call out, and I'll open the formation to let you in.” Chen Lingming was a great righteousness sent by heaven into Chen Mo Bai's hands, so he naturally hoped Chen Lingming would successfully form his Nascent Soul. However, there was no need to expose the Sky Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation's ability to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for an outsider like Chen Lingming. Moreover, Chen Mo Bai also wanted to test his true capabilities, so he withdrew the Void Lock and released the grand formation.
“Yes, Junior Ancestral Martial Uncle!” Chen Lingming nodded, then, controlling a five-light-flashing pagoda-shaped magical artifact, he flew into the sky.
Rumble!
The moment Chen Lingming left the Sky Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation, the Immortal Slaying Lightning in the sky immediately descended upon him like shooting stars, bearing silvery-gray light. Chen Lingming dared not delay and offered up his life-bound magical artifact, the Five-Light Spiritual Pagoda, above his head. In an instant, the consummate Primordial Chaos True Qi within him transformed into a kaleidoscopic spherical light shield, glowing from the pagoda and enveloping his entire body.
Amidst the thunderous roars, all the cultivators in Beiyuan City surged out onto the streets, watching this rare sight. Initially, the descending Heavenly Tribulation made those with lower cultivation levels tremble with fear. But they soon discovered that some dissipated residual tribulation energy fell upon the city-protecting grand formation without even causing a ripple, dissolving into nothingness. Gradually, they all relaxed and even began to comment.
“Indeed, expensive housing has its reasons. This city-protecting grand formation alone is worth the price.”
“It's a pity my mortgage isn't paid off yet. Otherwise, I'd really want to buy another property. After this Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, housing prices are definitely going to rise again.”
Many people discussed housing prices, but more, whose minds weren't as quick, were focused on the Heavenly Tribulation overhead.
“That pagoda seems very powerful. It must be a Tier 4 magical artifact, right?”
“I'd guess more than that. After all, he's a Daoist Son of the One Origin.”
“I never thought I'd live to see someone undergo a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. This life is truly worth it!”
“With the Five Elements Sect's current momentum, it probably won't be long before there's a second and third Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, and perhaps even a Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation...”
While Chen Lingming underwent his tribulation, Chen Mo Bai and Mo Douguang had also left the skies above his cave dwelling. Taking this opportunity, Du Mengyun immediately emerged. Listening to the discussions on the street, she couldn't help but scoff inwardly. How could Soul Transformation be so easily achieved? Throughout history, in the Tianhe Realm, how many astonishingly talented Daoist Sons and Saintesses, from both the righteous and demonic paths, ultimately stopped at the threshold of Soul Transformation, passing away in obscurity? Although this 'Old Turtle Chen' now seemed to possess immense luck, Du Mengyun believed his chances of achieving Soul Transformation were, at most, ten percent.
As she pondered, she walked to the end of the street, preparing to head towards the teleportation array, but then noticed a gaze upon her. She saw a black-clad young man with a calm expression looking at her from mid-air. Du Mengyun immediately recognized the person: Yu Lian, the Deputy Hall Master of the Five Elements Sect's Hall of Punishing Evil. In the sky, Yu Lian was not the only Core Formation cultivator from the Five Elements Sect; everyone was very curious about the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. However, under these circumstances, Yu Lian did not forget his duties.
Being watched! Du Mengyun immediately realized that when 'Old Turtle Chen' arrived, he must have discovered her clone's Core Formation cultivation, which was why Yu Lian, as the relevant individual, was paying such close attention to her. She lowered her head, immediately changed her direction from leaving the city, and headed to the nearby Celestial Dining Tower. Chen Lingming's Nascent Soul formation had also led to her being confined for over a year. Her spirit rice and other provisions had long been consumed, surviving solely on Bigu Pills. Now was the perfect time to have a good meal at the Celestial Dining Tower, satisfy her cravings, and concurrently consider her next steps.
Yu Lian multi-tasked, observing Du Mengyun while watching the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation overhead.
After a full seven days and seven nights, Chen Lingming was dishevelled and pale-faced. He hadn't expected his Heavenly Tribulation to be so terrifying. Moreover, the Immortal Slaying Lightning was not within the restraint range of Primordial Chaos True Qi; he could only rely on his magical artifact to endure it. But his life-bound magical artifact was merely a mid-grade Tier 4 item. Under the continuous bombardment of the Immortal Slaying Lightning, cracks had appeared on the pagoda's body, and its spire had even been blasted off.
“It seems he won't make it!” At Beiyuan Mountain's summit, Mo Douguang, seeing this, couldn't help but speak. In the Tianhe Realm, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is determined by a cultivator's foundation. Although he and Zhou Ye had also successfully formed Nascent Souls, their foundations could only be described as ordinary, so the tribulation's power wasn't particularly great.
But Chen Lingming was different. Decades had passed since his failed Nascent Soul formation at Five Emperors Mountain. He had hidden in the Eastern Wilderness, cultivating the One Origin Dao Scripture to the extreme of Core Formation, accumulating such profound True Qi that it could rank among the foremost in the One Origin Dao Palace's millennia of history. This was why he dared to attempt Nascent Soul formation purely based on his own foundation, without any aid from spiritual medicines or resources. However, it was precisely because of this that he triggered the Immortal Slaying Lightning.
“Junior Ancestral Martial Uncle, please save my life!” At this moment, Chen Lingming also realized he would die if he continued. Witnessing the increasingly terrifying power of the Immortal Slaying Lightning, he cast aside his pride and once again sought Chen Mo Bai's help.
“After all, it's still a One Origin lineage!” Chen Mo Bai was waiting for Chen Lingming to speak. After hearing him, he nodded and uttered this sentence. The Sky Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation opened a gap, allowing Chen Lingming, who was on his last breath, to take shelter inside. But the Heavenly Tribulation still didn't disperse. Instead, it gathered even greater power, transforming into vast tribulation clouds that roared as they enveloped the entire Beiyuan City.
“Junior Martial Brother, should I make a move?” Mo Douguang, standing by, watched the sky full of Immortal Slaying Lightning. The Longevity Sword on his back seemed eager to act. With the remnants of the Golden Light Grass left by Ye Qing, Chen Mo Bai used the Sword Cleansing Pond to help Mo Douguang's sword refine its spirituality, making it a semi-Tier 5 flying sword. Mo Douguang had, after all, formed his Nascent Soul decades ago, and his sword art cultivation was complete. Although this Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying for Chen Lingming, he was confident he could block it.
“Let me do it. Besides, this Immortal Slaying Lightning should be a very nourishing type of energy for my sword,” Chen Mo Bai said with a smile. Chen Mo Bai, however, smiled and stopped Mo Douguang.
Then, a colossal phantom rose from behind him, like a giant deity standing on the mountain peak, wearing a white jade crown. With each breath, clouds and mists billowed, as if heaven and earth resonated, and all phenomena descended. This was Chen Mo Bai's Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, nearing great accomplishment at Tier 4. In recent years, besides his personal cultivation, he had expended the most effort on this grand technique. By degrading primordial turbid yin qi and combining it with Five Elements essence qi, the seventy-two Earthly Fiend qi formed was exquisitely pure, containing subtle primordial mysteries, causing Chen Mo Bai's Myriad Sword Dharmakaya to advance at an astonishing pace.
According to his estimates, in about ten more years, this Myriad Sword Dharmakaya could be elevated to the peak of Tier 4. At that time, if the Dao Law Fruit were to advance, he might be able to obtain power akin to Soul Transformation within the range of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Beings. This was similar to the Soul Transformation cultivators in the Immortal Sect who refined rules. However, the rules of the Immortal Sect had long been nurtured to maturity over thousands of years by successive generations. Once successfully refined, one could gradually release their power for personal use, without any bottlenecks until the peak of Soul Transformation.
Chen Mo Bai's Dao Law Fruit, centered on the mortals of the Eastern Wilderness, along with half of the Eastern Yi and the entire Eastern Wu, was far inferior in both territory and population. However, its strength lay in its immense future potential and the unique blessing of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Beings. According to Chen Mo Bai's estimates, by the time of the land reclamation, his integrated super unified dynasty should have a population of over a hundred million. Nurtured during a period of peace and prosperity, the Dao Law Fruit would rapidly mature. By then, a peak Tier 4 Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, equipped with the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Beings, would certainly be able to break through to Tier 5 within the scope of the Dao Law Fruit. That would be the ultimate realm of an external incarnation, allowing Chen Mo Bai to possess a Soul Transformation level combat incarnation while still in the Nascent Soul realm.
It was precisely for this reason that when the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya stood at the summit of Beiyuan Mountain, all cultivators who witnessed it felt a surge of awe. Some even felt an uncontrollable urge to prostrate themselves and worship towards Beiyuan Mountain!
“One Origin Dao Body!” Du Mengyun, dining in the Celestial Dining Tower, couldn't help but be shocked the moment she saw the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya. This was a trump card of the One Origin Dao Palace, a secret technique that only a handful of past Grand Elders and Palace Masters had managed to master. Wasn't this 'Old Turtle Chen' supposedly a fake Daoist Son of the One Origin? How could his techniques resemble those of a Daoist Son of the One Origin even more than the actual one?
At this moment, the gigantic Myriad Sword Dharmakaya at the summit of Beiyuan Mountain had already extended beyond the Sky Curtain Earth Net's coverage. It reached out and clenched its hand in the void, and a long sword gleaming with purple light abruptly appeared in its palm. The Purple Lightning Sword instantly condensed the boundless tribulation lightning essence qi from its surroundings, manifesting a hundred-meter-long illusory sword matching the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya's size.
“Master! This thing seems to be greatly nourishing for me!” After emerging from its realm, the Purple Lightning Sword also sensed the silvery-gray Immortal Slaying Lightning within the Heavenly Tribulation and couldn't help but transmit a joyful cry.
Chen Mo Bai had already discovered this earlier using the Heaven-Connecting Altar. Among the characteristics of the Immortal Slaying Lightning, it encompassed all aspects of Yang Lightning, but not just Yang Lightning; it also included Yin Lightning, and even Five Elements Lightning, and so on. It seemed to be the origin of lightning techniques in this world. It was precisely for this reason that Primordial Chaos True Qi could not suppress it, and Chen Lingming almost died.
“I can give it to you, but for the next ten times you act, you won't receive any spirit stone compensation,” Chen Mo Bai said. He immediately seized the opportunity to 'discipline' the Purple Lightning Sword. He felt that if the Purple Lightning Sword could refine this Immortal Slaying Lightning, it might be able to break through its bottleneck again and become a high-grade Tier 5 artifact. By then, having 'gone bad,' it would probably demand more money for every action. So Chen Mo Bai decided to make it sign an IOU first, lest it become lawless later.
“Master, isn't ten times too many!” The Purple Lightning Sword instinctively began to bargain.
“Then I'll switch. This Immortal Slaying Lightning also contains Yin Lightning attributes; Green Frost should like it very much.”
“Master, what I meant was, it's my honor to act for you; discussing numbers hurts feelings!”
Chen Mo Bai listened to the Purple Lightning Sword's telepathic message and sighed, lamenting how such a simple sword could have become like this. He felt it wasn't his fault; it was the Purple Lightning Sword's inherent nature.
After striking the deal, the Purple Lightning Sword immediately erupted with its most powerful force in the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya's hand. A heaven-piercing purple radiance flashed at the summit of Beiyuan Mountain, instantly cleaving through the vast dark clouds, then spreading to all parts of the tribulation clouds, covering the sky-full of silvery-gray Immortal Slaying Lightning, attempting to merge with it. Amidst the crackling thunderous roars, purple electric light and silvery-gray lightning intertwined in the sky. The purple lightning constantly dispersed but relentlessly regenerated. Gradually, one streak of Immortal Slaying Lightning began to dissolve, permeated by the purple lightning, and the two began to merge into a single strand of silvery-purple lightning thread.
The appearance of this lightning thread greatly surprised the Purple Lightning Sword. It mustered even more strength, cooperating with the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, activating the consummate Purple Splendor Sword Intent, and erupting with more purple lightning sword light. The Immortal Slaying Lightning contained a terrifying wisp of destructive aura; dozens of purple lightning streaks were needed to merge with one Immortal Slaying Lightning streak. Chen Mo Bai's Myriad Sword Dharmakaya stood at the summit of Beiyuan Mountain, precisely at the Tier 5 spiritual nexus of the Sky Curtain Earth Net. Under his control, a continuous flow of Tier 5 spiritual energy was absorbed and refined by the Purple Lightning Sword.
“Junior Martial Brother, your Purple Splendor Sword Canon has already surpassed the ancients!” Mo Douguang, standing by, watched this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. When he was at Core Formation, he received the Purple Splendor Sword Canon from Chen Mo Bai. It was by using this as a reference that he re-evaluated his flawed sword dao, thus laying the foundation for his Nascent Soul formation. However, the Purple Splendor Sword Canon could at most be cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, and even the content concerning sword intent reaching Tier 5 was entirely speculative. This indicated that the senior ancestors of the Longevity Sect who created this sword art also had not cultivated Tier 5 sword intent. Yet now, Chen Mo Bai, wielding the Purple Lightning Sword through his Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, every strike surpassed the solutions presented in the final chapter of the Purple Splendor Sword Canon. Mo Douguang, also a sword cultivator, knew best how terrifying a sword dao talent was required to achieve this. Undoubtedly, Junior Martial Brother Sect Master was not only the foremost sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness throughout history, but probably even in the Eastern Lands, those who could compare to him in terms of sword dao talent were few and far between.
“It's merely a factor of the times; I stand on the shoulders of giants,” Chen Mo Bai replied. As Chen Mo Bai spoke, the sky-full of purple lightning sword light had already covered and permeated all the Immortal Slaying Lightning. The Heavenly Tribulation had reached its peak and was now beginning to weaken. The Myriad Sword Dharmakaya released the Purple Lightning Sword, allowing it to fly into the remaining tribulation clouds and absorb and refine the Immortal Slaying Lightning. Mo Douguang watched the towering Myriad Sword Dharmakaya slowly shrink and finally vanish behind Chen Mo Bai, but he misunderstood his meaning.
“Junior Martial Brother, are you saying that the combination of an external incarnation and sword dao can transcend a cultivator's limits and unleash unimaginable power?”
“Something like that. Once my Myriad Sword Dharmakaya reaches perfection, I'll write it down as a legacy and leave it within the sect, to see if any future disciples can master it.” Chen Mo Bai knew Mo Douguang was a serious person, so he could only change the topic and speak of his Myriad Sword Dharmakaya.
“In that case, my disciples of the Metal Meridian will be blessed,” Mo Douguang said. As expected, Mo Douguang's first thought upon hearing this was the benefit to their Metal Meridian. After all, over ninety percent of the Five Elements Sect's sword cultivators were in the Metal Meridian. The Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, at first glance, was a supreme secret art for sword cultivators.
“This disciple thanks Junior Ancestral Martial Uncle for your assistance. I shall never forget this life-saving grace!” At this moment, Chen Lingming arrived. Although his aura was weak and his face pale, he had tidied his appearance and performed a deep bow to Chen Mo Bai in mid-air.
“You were injured during the tribulation. You need to recover properly, or it will damage your origin,” Chen Mo Bai said. Using the Empty Valley Sound technique, Chen Mo Bai already understood Chen Lingming's current state. He lifted the restrictions at Beiyuan Mountain's summit, allowing him to enter. “Ming'er, go find an empty Tier 4 spiritual vein cave dwelling and take him there to recuperate well,” Chen Mo Bai instructed Zhuo Ming beside him. The latter immediately nodded and guided Chen Lingming down the mountain.
“Thank you for your trouble, Junior Ancestral Martial Auntie,” Chen Lingming said. After thanking Chen Mo Bai again, Chen Lingming did not forget to thank Zhuo Ming, who was leading the way.
After the two descended, the tribulation clouds in the sky had completely dispersed. After the Purple Lightning Sword had absorbed all the Immortal Slaying Lightning, its blade was now covered in bright silver arcs of lightning. Chen Mo Bai lightly beckoned, and the Purple Lightning Sword immediately landed in his palm. After sensing the Immortal Slaying Lightning and the Purple Lightning Sword's current state, Chen Mo Bai drew a talisman in the air and pressed it onto the blade.
“This talisman will temporarily seal the Immortal Slaying Lightning that you cannot yet refine. Later, I will have Qingmei take you to Myriad Transformation Immortal City. During the day, you will enter the Sword Cleansing Pond, and at night, you will temper yourself with the Dusky Cloud Fire. In approximately twenty years, you will be able to upgrade to high-grade Tier 5.”
Most knowledge of artifact refining is interconnected. After Chen Mo Bai refined the Dao Fruit on the Elixir Cauldron Jade Tree and fully comprehended the contents of lantern-type magical artifacts, he gradually realized that over time, his understanding of magical artifacts, even without the Can Tong Qi, had reached Tier 5. This made him understand why the Elixir Cauldron Sect stipulated that only Tier 5 artifact refiners could refine Dao Fruits. Because this way, there would be no need for further learning. The Elixir Cauldron Daoist probably intended to prevent his disciples from lacking tempering and gaining benefits without effort. But for Chen Mo Bai, this was excellent. At the very least, it saved him hundreds of years. It was precisely for this reason that when Chen Mo Bai pressed his hand, a mental image of the Purple Lightning Sword upgrading to a high-grade Tier 5 artifact, combined with current resources, appeared in his mind.
“Thank you, Master!” Upon hearing this, the Purple Lightning Sword immediately manifested a phantom sword spirit with purple hair and purple eyes, appearing as a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, with features perfectly scaled down from Chen Mo Bai's own, and spoke with delight.
“Come in!” Chen Mo Bai extended his hand and swept it towards the Tier 4 Longevity Wood at the mountain's summit. Immediately, a thick branch fell, transforming into an open wooden sword box in his palm. The Purple Lightning Sword, hearing this, obediently flew into the sword box. After closing it, Chen Mo Bai placed another talisman onto it. Yin Qingmei was, after all, only at the peak of Core Formation. The Purple Lightning Sword, having absorbed the Immortal Slaying Lightning, was somewhat unable to control its own sword qi, so besides the sword box, he added another seal.
“Sect Master, you called for me!” At this moment, Yin Qingmei, who had received his telepathic message, flew over. Seeing Mo Douguang also present, she could only address him by his title.
“Take this sword box to Myriad Transformation Immortal City and give it to Xueting. Have her collect the medicinal ingredients according to this list and dissolve them into the Sword Cleansing Pond...” Chen Mo Bai detailed Yin Qingmei's tasks one by one, and she nodded repeatedly. Finally, after memorizing the incantation to remove the sword box's seal, Yin Qingmei respectfully took the Purple Lightning Sword with both hands.
“This sword of mine is currently in an unstable state and cannot travel via teleportation array...” Chen Mo Bai added another instruction. It was precisely because of this that he had Yin Qingmei make this trip. Because he was currently at Beiyuan Mountain and could not leave until Chen Lingming's matter was resolved.
After Yin Qingmei left, Mo Douguang spoke, “Junior Martial Brother, I could actually make that trip along the way.”
“It's a small matter, no need to trouble Senior Martial Brother. Besides, sometimes having the disciples below exert effort also cultivates their cohesion towards the sect.” Chen Mo Bai's words made Mo Douguang thoughtful. It did seem to be the case. In the Five Elements Sect, not everyone had the qualifications to act on behalf of a Nascent Soul Ancestor. Especially when it came to Chen Mo Bai's affairs, the Core Formation cultivators of the Five Elements Sect all vied for the opportunity.
Half a month later, Chen Lingming, who had outwardly recovered, immediately came to the mountain summit and thanked Chen Mo Bai again.
“No need for such formality. I saved you because you are useful to me,” Chen Mo Bai said. He knew that Chen Lingming, having been able to hide in the Eastern Wilderness for decades to form his Nascent Soul, and being flexible with him, was the kind of person who saw through everything. So he didn't say anything superfluous and directly got to the point.
“After you recover your vitality and consolidate your realm, go to Five Emperors Mountain. Su Ziluoluo is there. You two will represent me together to persuade the Nascent Soul Elders of the One Origin Dao Palace to acknowledge that my Five Elements Sect is the true One Origin orthodox lineage. If this matter is successfully concluded, I will allow you to enter the secret realm left by the One Origin Grand Ancestor and ascend the Altar of State. If you fail, you will be of no value.”
