Chapter 1056: Five-Level Myriad Sword Dharma Body

Chen Mobai’s divine sense focused on observing the territory of Dongwu.

The land, once ravaged and scarred, now showed no trace of the scorched earth left by the war.

The trenches, pits, and valleys caused by the exploding spirit veins had all been filled and vanished. Thanks to the efforts of the Five Elements Sect's geomancers, led by Zhuo Ming, Dongwu had transformed into an unprecedentedly fertile plain on Dongzhou.

Bordering the Cloud Dream Lake were neatly squared rice paddies.

Within the swaying rice stalks, grains shimmered with five-colored luster. This was the mature Five-Colored Rice, which had now become one of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce's signature products.

Many disciples from the Five Elements Sect's Spiritual Plant Department operated large agricultural puppet machines designed by Chen Mobai, allowing one person to easily harvest hundreds of acres of land.

Besides the Five Elements Sect disciples, new villages dotted the edges of the rice paddies. These were homes for the people of Dongwu who chose to return after Zhuo Ming had restored their homeland.

Upon their return, the Five Elements Sect arranged for them to be settled around the newly rebuilt counties, organized by spiritual field production areas, where they helped look after the spiritual rice.

Their task was to constantly observe.

Should the spiritual rice show any abnormalities, they were to immediately notify their superiors, who would then report it up the chain, ensuring the Five Elements Sect was informed.

After receiving Chen Mobai's orders, Zhou Wangshen genuinely desired to rebuild Dongwu well and demonstrate his capabilities. Therefore, he dispatched core disciples of the Five Elements Sect to preside over each of the twelve rebuilt counties.

These Five Elements Sect disciples were mostly geomancers or spiritual plant cultivators.

Furthermore, each person was assigned at least a hundred acres of spiritual fields, so any problems could be traced back to them.

Should the spiritual rice yield be poor, accountability would be pursued.

Now, with the Five Elements Sect's growing influence, while resources at the higher echelons remained abundant, competition among the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stages had become fierce.

Long ago, Chen Mobai had established a system of minor annual assessments and major ten-year assessments.

Cultivating fields, mining, gathering herbs, raising beasts, capturing rogues, subduing demons, exploring for treasures, guarding strategic locations, enforcing laws, refining pills, crafting talismans, creating formations and artifacts, teaching cultivation techniques—each level of disciple had corresponding assessment standards.

Only by passing the assessments could disciples fully receive their annual benefits.

Excellent performance brought corresponding rewards; conversely, there were also penalties, ranging from initial warnings to later deductions of spirit stones and so on.

Currently, in Dongwu, due to its separation from Donghuang by the Cloud Dream Lake, Zhou Wangshen had essentially established a miniature Five Elements Sect, holding all powers of assessment, reward, and punishment.

Chen Mobai, in turn, provided the necessary support for this.

For assessment rewards, such as the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment, magic tools, and talismans, E Yun was instructed to distribute one-tenth of the Five Elements Sect's output to this region.

With these incentives, many Five Elements Sect disciples who struggled to compete at the Donghuang headquarters were willing to come to Dongwu to try their luck.

There had already been multiple cases of disciples successfully achieving Foundation Establishment here due to excellent performance in their assigned tasks and receiving the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment.

Having gained control over rewards and punishments, Zhou Wangshen found it even easier to command the sect's disciples in Dongwu. However, he knew that his ultimate goal was to satisfy Chen Mobai.

Therefore, he personally conducted frequent inspections throughout Dongwu, sometimes even going down to the fields to handle various thorny issues that Five Elements Sect disciples couldn't resolve.

However, Dongwu's territory was truly vast, and the Five Elements Sect disciples willing to come here to strive were, after all, a minority.

Thus, Zhou Wangshen also recruited many rogue cultivators and even the former immortal cultivation families of Dongwu, hoping to rely on them to fully control the many still-desolate areas of Dongwu.

However, none of the immortal cultivation families were willing to return.

After all, they had finally contributed to the war, earning the Five Elements Sect's pity and integration, thereby gaining glorious Donghuang household registration. How could they possibly regress?

Only those rogue cultivators who couldn't make a living elsewhere, or unscrupulous cultivators, chose to return.

With a thought, Chen Mobai instantly teleported to a spiritual field on the shore, which was on the verge of harvest.

During Dongwu's reconstruction, the first priority was, naturally, to re-establish the grand formation.

Chen Mobai had long since given the formation diagrams to Yi Shaoqing, who, leading the disciples of the Formation Department, had already extended the Heavenly Veil and Earthly Net formation to this area.

Thus, Chen Mobai could arrive via the Grand Void Teleportation.

Not far from the spiritual fields lay a small village, with smoke curling from chimneys, indicating the approaching sunset. In the fields, rice stalks shimmered with five-colored light, swaying in the breeze. Farmers, their faces beaming with the joy of harvest, diligently weeded, their brows slick with sweat.

Although these spiritual fields belonged to the Five Elements Sect, a bountiful harvest meant substantial rewards for them.

Food, cloth, iron tools, meat, vegetable and fruit seeds, and even wooden houses that could be erected instantly simply by being placed on the ground—all these were highly useful items for them.

Under the rule of the Five Elements Sect, the returned people of Dongwu were living better than ever before.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn't help but nod slightly, affirming Zhou Wangshen's efforts in rebuilding Dongwu.

Next, he visited another forestry production area in Dongwu.

As per his request, areas where the Five Elements Sect lacked manpower to develop into spiritual fields were instead planted with various spiritual trees and plants. Zhuo Ming had also diverted water from the Cloud Dream Lake here, where it flowed gently through the forests, nourishing these planted groves.

Some Scarlet Sun Spirit Wood had already grown into large, luxuriant trees, and faintly, one could see Azure Sun Fire Seeds forming within their trunks, accumulating transformative power.

There were also Five Elements Sect disciples here, not just from the Spiritual Plant Department, but also from the Spiritual Beast Department.

However, the territory they managed was much larger than the spiritual fields, and their corresponding assessments were also more lenient.

The forest was alive with birdsong and floral fragrance, and small beasts scurried through it, vibrant with life.

Upon stepping into this place, Chen Mobai knew that Dongwu, this land he had once destroyed, had thoroughly recovered. Not only were its superficial wounds healed, but it was also brimming with life, filled with various vegetation.

The Crown of Heaven and Earth's Sentient Beings, at some unknown moment, floated above his head.

The segment that was originally dark as ink slowly dimmed at this moment, eventually disappearing, returning to its previous pure white, jade-like state.

After this portion of karmic retribution dissipated, Chen Mobai felt his mind become clearer once more.

The Dao Law Fruit, embedded in his Crown of Heaven and Earth's Sentient Beings, expanded suddenly by a quarter, as if breaking through a restriction.

And in that instant, Chen Mobai felt that Dongwu's heavenly heart and earthly spirit had completely fallen under his control.

With a mere thought, he could instantly teleport to any point he desired by following the ancestral earth veins spread throughout Dongwu, without even needing the Heavenly Veil and Earthly Net grand formation for precise location.

This extended not only to Dongwu, but also to Cloud Dream Lake, Donghuang, and even the desolate ruins opened by the Five Elements Sect extending from Donghuang, as well as two-thirds of Dongyi.

At this moment, as long as it was within the Five Elements Sect's territory, he could easily pinpoint any location through his Dao Law Fruit.

Without the karmic retribution of Dongwu, his mastery of the Dao Law could be considered greatly perfected.

Though it might still not compare to the thousands of years of accumulation by the Immortal Sect, it already possessed sixty to seventy percent of its power.

The contents of the 'Heavenly Book of Dao Law' flashed through Chen Mobai's mind. The massive Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, at some unknown point, had emerged from behind him, standing tall above this lush green forest.

The Crown of Heaven and Earth's Sentient Beings also rose from his true body's head, and as it settled upon the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya's head, it expanded to the perfect size for it to wear.

The moment the Dao Law Fruit merged with the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, Chen Mobai instantly felt the almost infinite threads under the Five Elements Sect's command surge towards him, continuously, and under his guidance, they transformed into a web of Dao Law that enveloped the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya.

At this moment, as the Dao Law took form upon it, the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, which previously possessed only a faint trace of fifth-tier profundity, immediately broke through its constraints and attained the fifth-tier realm.

The 'Heavenly Garment' realm requires condensing the Nine Heavens' Pure Qi into skin, flesh, and fetal membranes. Chen Mobai, by using the web of Dao Law as a substitute, achieved the same effect.

However, compared to the Nine Heavens' Pure Qi, there was a limitation.

Namely, it was only effective within the Five Elements Sect's territory.

Once outside, the Dao Law Heavenly Garment draped over the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya would instantly disintegrate.

But Chen Mobai had long been mentally prepared for this.

After all, he was somewhat of a homebody and didn't particularly like going out.

As long as it could protect his territory, that was enough.

And even if he truly needed to go out, didn't he have his second primordial spirit?

That one had no such restrictions.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai wondered if he could be a bit more conceited now.

Both the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya and his second primordial spirit were equivalent to a single Divinity Transformation stage combatant. Coupled with the geographical advantage, he felt he could even contend with True Monarch Wuchen, should he arrive.

But this surge of conceit only lasted for a moment.

Believing in the principle of valuing peace, he certainly still hoped to form an alliance with the Sacred Land of the Eastern Lands.

After all, the Five Elements Sect would also become a righteous Sacred Land in the future, sharing the same path as the Daoist Virtue Sect.

After the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya reached the fifth-tier, Chen Mobai intended to test its power and determine whether it or his second primordial spirit was stronger.

However, he definitely couldn't test it in Dongwu. After all, this was a place Zhuo Ming and many Five Elements Sect disciples had painstakingly restored; a Divinity Transformation level attack could easily destroy it again.

But the fifth-tier power of the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya could only be maintained within the Five Elements Sect's territory...

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai looked up at the sky.

He sent his second primordial spirit flying out from behind his head, then, wielding the Primordial Yang Sword, it ascended with the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, transforming into two streaks of sword light, one purple and one golden, soaring skyward.

Although he tried his best to suppress his aura, the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya had only just reached the fifth-tier and was not yet fully proficient, causing all the cultivators and spiritual beasts in the forest to tremble in fear.

Only after the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya disappeared into the sky did the most powerful Five Elements Sect Foundation Establishment Elder regain control of his stiff body. Without hesitation, he immediately reported the matter to Zhou Wangshen.

“An existence suspected to be at the Nascent Soul stage has appeared…”

Zhou Wangshen, who was inspecting the recently sprouted fourth-tier Five-Colored Rice for the year, was greatly startled upon hearing this news.

He immediately summoned Yi Shaoqing, but the latter shook his head, stating that he had not detected any Nascent Soul level power entering the grand formation.

However, if the opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he, with his mere Outer Dao Golden Core cultivation, was somewhat hesitant.

“Dongwu's territory is vast, and a portion is not yet covered by the grand formation, though spirit pivots and formation plates for future expansion have been reserved. Perhaps it’s a Nascent Soul formation master who used this as a loophole to slip in…”

Hearing this possibility, Zhou Wangshen did not delay further. He immediately took out his Sky-Piercing Device and reported the matter to Zhou Shengqing.

Although Zhou Wangshen held himself in high regard, he knew that Nascent Soul cultivators could only be dealt with by other Nascent Soul cultivators.

He regarded Chen Mobai as an idol, and the latter had once said that encountering an insurmountable opponent, preserving strength, retreating, and awaiting reinforcements was a wise course of action.

Moreover, with so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, there was absolutely no need for him, a mere late-stage Core Formation cultivator, to sacrifice his life in vain.

“You are to lead the sect's core disciples to retreat to Wind Rain Immortal City in the center of Cloud Dream Lake. Junior Martial Brother Sect Master is in secluded cultivation in the nearby Yellow Dragon Grotto. The scoundrel surely wouldn't dare approach there. As for the rest, wait for me and Martial Brother Mo to come and resolve it.”

Upon hearing Zhou Wangshen's report, Zhou Shengqing first ensured Zhou Wangshen's safety.

“Yes, Ancestor!”

With Zhou Shengqing's permission, Zhou Wangshen had no more worries and immediately commenced a strategic retreat.

At the same time, Zhou Shengqing activated the Five Elements Sect's highest-grade Sky-Piercing Device, which had a channel capable of notifying all Nascent Soul cultivators.

“...An intruder in Dongwu, possibly a Demonic Nascent Soul…”

Zhou Shengqing stated his conjecture, as those with karmic ties to Dongwu's territory, besides the desolate sea demons, were the Myriad Stars Alliance and the demonic cultivators who once collaborated with Myriad Immortal Isle.

As for the Myriad Stars Alliance, in recent years, they had formed a cooperative alliance with the Five Elements Sea Merchants led by Yuan Chizhi and Qi Rui, making them allies of the Five Elements Sect.

And the desolate sea demons, ever since the million demonic beasts led by Myriad Immortal Isle were annihilated by Chen Mobai over Dongwu, had become stray dogs, relentlessly beaten by the Myriad Stars Alliance in the desolate sea, even fleeing to the neighboring Profound Sea for refuge.

That left only one possibility: a Demonic Nascent Soul.

“I’ve just perfected my sword intent; I need an opponent to test it out…”

In the channel, Mo Douguang, upon hearing the news, did not hesitate and expressed his willingness to act.

“If it’s a Demonic Nascent Soul, they are all cunning and insidious, possessing many malicious techniques. My Primal Chaos True Qi can counter most of them. I’ll accompany Martial Uncle Mo on this trip.”

Chen Lingming spoke second. He had been in secluded cultivation in Donghuang for years, mastering various Five Elements spells taught by Chen Mobai and feeling a great surge in his strength. However, everything about the Five Elements Sect was good, except for its excessive peace, making it hard to find opponents.

If he were in the Eastern Lands, there would be no shortage of opponents to spar with.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were all exceedingly modest and yielded to one another.

When they tested their moves, it was truly just a test, without a hint of killing intent.

This made Chen Lingming, who hailed from the Eastern Lands, very unaccustomed.

“My current batch of pills is also sealed in the furnace. I’ll go with you.”

After the two finished speaking, Qing Nü suddenly spoke as well.

As soon as she spoke, the other Nascent Soul cultivators, who had been hesitating, all readily declared their availability.

It wasn't that they feared Qing Nü was in danger, but rather that if the Sect Master's wife was taking action and they weren't proactive, they might face criticism from the Sect Master once he emerged from seclusion.

Except for Yin Qingmei and Su Ziluo, even Zhou Ye, who was stationed in Dongyi, rushed over via a large teleportation array.

Soon, the sight of seven Nascent Soul cultivators from the Five Elements Sect gathering in Beiyuan City sent shockwaves through all the forces within the city.

What was happening?

Since Beiyuan City was founded, such a scene had never occurred.

Was war about to break out?

Were they finally going to flatten Jinwu Immortal City and unify the three border regions of Dongzhou?

For many locals, this was the first thought that flashed through their minds.

In recent years, the Five Elements Sect had become the undisputed superpower in Dongzhou, second only to the Sacred Lands.

Some even combined the Five Elements Sect with the One Yuan Dao Palace, considering them one entity, thus believing the Five Elements Sect *was* the Sacred Land of Dongzhou.

And this Sacred Land now occupied most of the territory in the three border regions, lacking only the area centered around Jinwu Immortal City and the coastline of the Profound Sea.

For many merchant guilds, they wished the Five Elements Sect would immediately flatten Jinwu Immortal City.

Because when they came to Beiyuan City for business, if they used Jinwu Immortal City's large teleportation array, they would be charged an additional tax.

And because Dongyi's Mirror Immortal City's large teleportation array was constantly full, they sometimes had no choice but to use Jinwu Immortal City's, as they certainly couldn't traverse the Desolate Ruins.

Jinwu Immortal City, which had declined with the rise of the Five Elements Sect, had paradoxically revived in recent years by relying on this income.

After all, once taxes were paid, merchants would find ways to earn them back, doing some business in Jinwu Immortal City itself, or even setting up shops there as transit points and warehouses.

So, if the Five Elements Sect destroyed Jinwu Immortal City, they would only cheer.

But unfortunately, the Seven Great Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect did not, as expected, directly attack Jinwu Immortal City. Instead, they traveled to Dongwu via a large teleportation array.

Over the years, to facilitate the reconstruction of Dongwu, the Five Elements Sect had once again commissioned the Grand Void Ethereal Palace to custom-make a large teleportation array, specifically for direct access to Dongwu.

With Chen Mobai's influence, arrangements and deployment were naturally expedited.

“You stay here and guard Beiyuan City.”

As they left, Qing Nü instructed the Grand Year Boy.

“Yes, Senior Mistress!”

The Grand Year Boy respectfully replied, addressing Chen Mobai as 'Master' according to the plays it had watched, and naturally, Qing Nü as 'Senior Mistress'.

Qing Nü was too lazy to correct it and let it continue calling her that.

Beiyuan City was an important stronghold, and without a Nascent Soul cultivator stationed there, she felt somewhat uneasy. Thus, she called the Grand Year Boy from Yellow Dragon Grotto.

When Chen Mobai emerged from seclusion, he did not alarm anyone, so even the Grand Year Boy was unaware.

After the Seven Great Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect departed one after another via the teleportation array, the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in Beiyuan City immediately became bustling.

Many people began to inquire, wanting to know what had happened in Dongwu that could prompt the Five Elements Sect to deploy such a formidable lineup.

Could it be that the desolate sea demons had made a comeback?

Or had the Myriad Stars Alliance gone mad and sent a large army to invade Dongwu?

Amidst the discussions, some well-informed forces learned the reason through their contacts in Dongwu.

For instance, the Heavenly Meal Pavilion!

Upon learning this, Shen Shanqing felt that the Five Elements Sect was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Seven Nascent Souls!

Unless the opponent was a Divinity Transformation cultivator, such a force could even flaunt its might above the headquarters of the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

Was it really necessary to mobilize such a large force for a mere suspected Nascent Soul infiltrator?

As if they had never encountered one before... Thinking of this, Shen Shanqing suddenly realized that it was indeed true.

After the Five Elements Sect rose to power, apart from an attack by a rogue Nascent Soul cultivator in Dongyi, no one had actually managed to infiltrate them.

Thinking about it, it seemed the Five Elements Sect's formations were quite formidable.

After realizing this, Shen Shanqing patted his increasingly round belly and lay back on his rocking chair.

Over the years in Donghuang, he could be said to be carefree, even relying on his relationship with Chen Mobai to earn a fortune in the real estate market.

He used to preside over the Heavenly Meal Pavilion every day, but now he might not visit it even once a month.

The profit he painstakingly earned from a month of catering business was less than selling a single set of apartments.

“I truly hope the Five Elements Sect's territory can expand to the entire Tianhe Realm. That way, my real estate business can also grow bigger…”

Shen Shanqing, eyes narrowed, dreamt of a beautiful future, filled with anticipation.

Within the Sky-Fiend Grand Qi.

Chen Mobai split his concentration, having the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya and his second primordial spirit face each other. The former wielded the Purple Lightning Sword, while the latter commanded the Primordial Yang Sword, both fully displaying their power.

Compared to the two, the second primordial spirit, possessing the Fire Element Dao Fruit, was clearly a tier higher.

With the cooperation of the Primordial Yang Sword, the Primordial Yang Sword Art was unleashed to its extreme. Its 'one sword breaks all laws' sword realm caused the ferocious sword qi erupting from the Purple Lightning Sword to instantly transform into a sky full of electrical currents upon contact.

The power of the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, however, primarily relied on sword intent and swords!

The Purple Lightning Sword was the strongest sword!

But compared to the seasoned and mature Primordial Yang Sword Spirit, the Purple Lightning Sword Spirit was somewhat like a brash rookie.

The peak-level Purple Splendor Sword Intent required a moment of accumulation to barely unleash a 'one sword breaks all laws' strike.

The Primordial Yang Sword, however, effortlessly unleashed 'one sword breaks all laws' with every strike, and even 'one sword creates all laws'.

The scattered electrical currents, defeated by the Primordial Yang Sword, were instead absorbed by it as it danced lightly, transforming into golden lightning orbs that, within the Sky-Fiend, evolved into a Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Sword Array!

At the very center of the sword array was the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, wearing the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Sentient Beings!

Chen Mobai's sword dao realm was universally applied to both the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya and his second primordial spirit. However, the Primordial Yang Sword could master 'one sword breaks all laws' and 'one sword creates all laws', while the Purple Lightning Sword could only achieve 'one sword breaks all laws'.

In a situation where it could only break but not create, the Purple Lightning Sword's efforts, instead, only served to amplify the Primordial Yang Sword's power.

Accompanied by the most violent roar, the dazzling purple sword light was extinguished by the simultaneously descending lightning orbs. The Purple Lightning Sword cried out in pain and flew back towards the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately activated the Two Poles Sword-Sha Array, using the Azure Frost Sword Intent to draw in the Purple Lightning Sword. While helping it dissolve the golden lightning coiled around its blade, he also began to draw in the Two Poles Qi from the Nine Heavens.

The moment the Two Poles Sword-Sha Array formed, the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Sword Array that had enveloped the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya's periphery began to show faint signs of instability.

Within Chen Mobai's sea of consciousness, the twenty-four sword intents of the Immortal Sect Sword Art, which had long been perfected due to the sword notions passed down by the white light, were all activated by the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya at this moment.

“This is likely no ordinary Nascent Soul!”

The seven Great Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, who had arrived in Dongwu, quickly reached the forest where Chen Mobai had ascended. A lingering trace of the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya's pressure remained, and its fifth-tier might left them all astounded.

Within the Nascent Soul stage, only Chen Mobai among their Five Elements Sect could cultivate a fifth-tier technique.

“Should we notify Junior Martial Brother Sect Master to emerge from seclusion?”

Zhou Ye asked, a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Facing such an opponent, even with seven of them, if they truly engaged, someone might fall.

Following the Five Elements Sect's cautious approach from top to bottom, it would be best to gather all their strength before surrounding and eliminating the opponent.

“What if the opponent isn't a Nascent Soul?”

Su Ziluo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, causing everyone to fall silent.

They had, naturally, all considered this point.

Possessing a fifth-tier technique, if not Nascent Soul, could only mean Divinity Transformation.

But they dared not think along those lines.

Since the opponent had infiltrated the Five Elements Sect, it meant there was a greater probability of them being an enemy.

“A cultivator capable of reaching the Divinity Transformation stage wouldn't hide their tracks, nor would they need to, when facing our Five Elements Sect.”

At this moment, Qing Nü spoke, her words calming everyone down.

Indeed.

If it were truly a Divinity Transformation True Monarch, all of them combined would not be a match.

If there was hostility, they would simply appear and eliminate the seven of them.

“Senior Brother, don't you feel that this fifth-tier fluctuation is a bit familiar…”

At this moment, Mo Douguang, who had been sensing the lingering pressure of the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya, turned to Zhou Shengqing and asked.

He was a sword cultivator, most sensitive to sword dao and sword intent, and had fought alongside the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya many times.

If the Myriad Sword Dharmakaya hadn't been enveloped and empowered by the Dao Law Heavenly Garment, he probably would have recognized Chen Mobai's sword intent much earlier.

But as it was, he was somewhat uncertain.

After all, although Chen Mobai's sword intent was powerful and had reached the fifth-tier, it didn't possess this extreme realm of 'one sword breaks all laws'.

“Oh, indeed, it feels like Junior Martial Brother Sect Master's Purple Splendor Sword Intent…”

Zhou Shengqing had personally experienced the power of Chen Mobai's sword attracting heavenly tribulation when they slew the Poison Dragon Ancestor together. The lingering fluctuations here were very similar, though much, much more powerful.

“Venerable Danxia, you also come and feel it.”

The two immediately informed Qing Nü of their conjecture, after which all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect came over to sense it.

After verifying, Qing Nü immediately took out her Sky-Piercing Device and instructed Jin Ling'er, who remained in the grotto-heaven, to check on Chen Mobai's secluded cultivation spot. She found that although the door was still tightly shut, the deep, restrained, and heart-palpitating aura that was there before had vanished.

“It must be him… but this sword intent…”

After confirming the news, Qing Nü was both surprised and delighted.

The realm of 'one sword breaks all laws'—this was almost standard for a Divinity Transformation True Monarch!

He… had achieved Divinity Transformation!?
