Chapter 1074: Da Kong Zhenjun

After Chen Mobai took a commemorative photo, his gaze once more fell upon the corpse of the Liuli.

For cultivators, every part of a Fifth-Tier true spirit is a treasure. Besides its essence blood, which can be refined into pills, the bones, fur, tusks, and claws of a Liuli—an earth-element divine beast—all contain potent earth elemental true energy and can be refined into powerful magical artifacts.

Beyond these, there was also its most precious inner core.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai listened to the Liuli's corpse with the "Sound of Empty Valley" technique. Then, he had his Second Primordial Spirit control the Primordial Yang Sword to gently cut its belly. Immediately, a yellowish-brown light flew out from the wound, transforming into a perfectly round yellowish-brown pearl that landed in his palm.

Feeling the immense true energy contained within, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.

This item would be of great use, whether given to Zhuo Ming, the Little Yellow Dragon Girl, or even the Grand Sovereign Boy.

However, as this was an inner core condensed by a beast's cultivation, it would require special methods for transformation before it could be refined.

For example, when Qing Nu refined the Poison Dragon's inner core or the Azure Sea King's inner core, she used the inner core as the main ingredient to refine elixirs.

As he thought about this, Chen Mobai was about to put the inner core away when suddenly, his heart stirred, and he looked towards the sky.

A silver light flashed, and a cultivator with a square face and large ears stepped out of the void.

"Greetings, True Monarch Dakong."

Chen Mobai had seen this person in Dongling Immortal City and knew he was a God Transformation True Monarch from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, so he respectfully performed a junior's salute.

Upon appearing, True Monarch Dakong immediately saw the Liuli, now a corpse, at the center of the sunken crater.

Even in death, the lingering, dense, and profound true energy within its body still indicated its identity as a Fifth-Tier true spirit.

He then saw Chen Mobai beside the corpse, along with his Second Primordial Spirit, which had an identical appearance.

The moment his aura connected with the Second Primordial Spirit, combined with the lingering power of the fire element grand dao that had not yet dissipated from the battlefield, True Monarch Dakong knew that Chen Mobai had killed the Liuli.

"Fellow Daoist is too polite. May I know your name?"

Back in Dongling Immortal City, True Monarch Dakong hadn't paid attention to a minor character like Chen Mobai, so he naturally didn't know the latter's identity. He returned the salute and asked.

"I am Chen Guixian of the Five Elements Sect."

Chen Mobai immediately introduced himself, and simultaneously, his Second Primordial Spirit transformed into a radiant pearl and merged behind his head.

Seeing this, True Monarch Dakong confirmed the conjecture in his mind.

To think he had cultivated a Primordial Spirit avatar while still in the Nascent Soul stage!

As a God Transformation cultivator of the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, True Monarch Dakong's knowledge far surpassed that of Su Taifeng.

He immediately discerned that Chen Mobai's main body was still at the Nascent Soul stage, but the avatar beside him was undoubtedly at the Primordial Spirit stage.

In the history of the Heavenly River Realm, while such a situation was rare, it was not unheard of.

For example, True Monarch Yuanchen, one of the Four True Ones from the Star God Palace in Northern Province, had, while still in the Nascent Soul stage, relied on his sect's supreme treasure to refine a Twelve Yuanchen Star God Avatar, possessing the combat power of a God Transformation cultivator.

"So it's you, young friend. No wonder, no wonder..."

Although True Monarch Dakong had never met Chen Mobai, he had heard of his name. Considering that True Monarch Yiyuan was able to leave behind a Primordial Spirit avatar to guard the Five Emperors Mountain even after his ascension, and now Chen Mobai, as the legitimate successor of the Yiyuan lineage, possessed an avatar of such a realm, he must have obtained the true foundation that True Monarch Yiyuan left in the Eastern Barrens.

To possess the combat power of a God Transformation cultivator while still in the Nascent Soul stage meant that the most difficult trial of the heavenly tribulation for Nascent Soul cultivators advancing to God Transformation would essentially be a walk in the park.

With this thought, Chen Mobai could basically be regarded as a God Transformation cultivator.

Thus, True Monarch Dakong's demeanor was very amiable as he spoke.

"I wouldn't dare. Senior Zhang and I are of the same generation; senior can just call me by my name."

Although Chen Mobai knew he now possessed the combat power of a God Transformation cultivator, he still maintained respect for true God Transformation True Monarchs.

"Hahaha, young friend is too modest. Cultivators in this realm are judged by their cultivation level. Since you have cultivated a Primordial Spirit avatar, you will soon be among our ranks..."

As True Monarch Dakong spoke, he took out two communication talismans, quickly inscribed some content with his divine sense, and with a flick of his finger, they transformed into two silver lights and vanished.

"This time, that girl Biluo said a wild Fifth-Tier true spirit appeared near Dongling Immortal City. So, I had Junior Brother Wuchen look after the Golden Flame Suanni first, and came here myself to check the situation, lest there be trouble in the backyard."

Seeing Chen Mobai's puzzled expression, True Monarch Dakong explained.

"I see. How is the Golden Flame Suanni doing now?"

Chen Mobai immediately grasped the key point and asked the most crucial question.

"Junior Brother Wuchen and I severely wounded it, but it still escaped into another lair. Junior Brother Wuchen and I are jointly blockading it. Once the Celestial and Terrestrial Xuanji Array is ready again, we can enter and completely slay it."

True Monarch Dakong hesitated for a moment but did not conceal the truth, telling Chen Mobai the real situation.

After all, Chen Mobai represented the Yiyuan Dao Lineage, a sacred land in Eastern Continent.

Theoretically, he should have a share of the harvest from opening up new territory.

However, before the pioneering efforts, Chen Mobai hadn't told them about possessing a Primordial Spirit avatar, so his lineage hadn't been factored in.

Now that he knew, True Monarch Dakong felt it was necessary to set things right.

Chen Mobai: "Do you need my help?"

Since True Monarch Dakong already knew about his Second Primordial Spirit, Chen Mobai saw no need to hide it anymore. Moreover, after killing Su Taifeng and the Liuli, other cultivators like Tude would likely be even less inclined to act.

So, he decided to stop pretending.

"If young friend is willing to act, that would naturally be for the best. Then we can legitimately give you a Transcendent True Spirit Pill."

True Monarch Dakong's words made Chen Mobai inwardly rejoice.

These senior God Transformation cultivators of the righteous path in Eastern Continent were all quite good.

Whether it was Yuan Qingque, Wuchen, or even Dakong before him, they all took great care of him.

At this moment, he was also very glad that he had come here with the help of the Turtle Treasure and had initially joined the righteous path.

Just as the two were speaking, streaks of Nascent Soul spiritual light suddenly flew in from the northern sky. They quickly landed in the massive crater, and led by Palace Master Biluo, they all bowed to True Monarch Dakong: "Greetings, True Monarch!"

Chen Mobai saw that besides Palace Master Biluo, there were familiar Nascent Soul cultivators like Xingji and Tude behind her.

However, True Monarch Dakong frowned when he saw that everyone only bowed to him, and a displeased expression appeared on his face: "Don't you see young friend Chen is also here? Hurry up and bow!"

His words left Palace Master Biluo and the other Nascent Soul cultivators astonished and bewildered, not understanding why they should bow to Chen Mobai, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if he was True Monarch Yiyuan's direct disciple, he wasn't qualified for them to show such respect, was he?

He wasn't a disciple of True King Taixu!

But since it was a demand from a God Transformation cultivator, they could only suppress their discomfort and cup their fists in greeting to Chen Mobai: "Greetings, Sect Master Chen."

Chen Mobai also nodded with a smile, not minding such a minor matter.

After this small interlude, all the Nascent Soul cultivators looked at the Liuli's corpse at the center of the crater, their faces filled with admiration.

"As expected of True Monarch Dakong, with just a slight move, he effortlessly slew a Fifth-Tier true spirit."

Xingji, who had followed along, was the first to praise, and the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators like Tude immediately echoed him.

After sensing the aura of the wild Fifth-Tier true spirit, these cultivators, who had originally been earning Merit Coins by slaying demonic beasts in the desolate ruins, had immediately fled into Dongling Immortal City, fearing that after the Fifth-Tier true spirit had ravaged the Five Elements Sect in the Kun position, it would turn its attention to them.

This time, when Palace Master Biluo received True Monarch Dakong's message that the Fifth-Tier true spirit was dead, they all actively followed, wanting to gain familiarity in front of a God Transformation cultivator.

Thus, upon landing, they showered him with all sorts of effusive praise.

As for the strange scorching aura around them, they simply assumed there was a fire vein here that had been shattered and dissipated during the God Transformation cultivators' engagement.

"Impudent!" True Monarch Dakong, whose expression had just cleared slightly, immediately flushed red with anger upon hearing the flattery. He directly reprimanded them.

Xingji and the others, who were still thinking of various laudatory terms, instantly froze in place, mouths agape, looking utterly bewildered.

What? Was praising him wrong now?

"This wild Fifth-Tier true spirit was already dead before I arrived; young friend Chen killed it." At this moment, True Monarch Dakong pointed to the Liuli still in the center of the crater, his face dark, indicating he was not the killer.

"This..."

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock.

If they hadn't known that God Transformation True Monarchs' words were absolute, they would have thought they had heard a joke.

A Fifth-Tier true spirit—even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't be its match. Coupled with True Monarch Dakong's earlier instruction to them to bow to Chen Mobai, an unbelievable thought flashed through everyone's minds.

Tude swallowed, his face a little flustered and at a loss.

"Sect Master Chen, have you... transformed into a God?"

Palace Master Biluo, as the highest-ranking person present and a disciple of True Monarch Dakong, couldn't suppress her inner shock and asked.

"No, I'm still at the Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Mobai shook his head, stating the truth.

Tude, Xuanshui, and Yanhuo, the three Nascent Soul cultivators standing behind Palace Master Biluo, all slightly exhaled in relief upon hearing this.

Just now, they had even been thinking about how they could surrender and greet him gracefully if Chen Mobai had already reached God Transformation.

"Young friend Chen has cultivated the Yiyuan Dao Body, personally passed down by Senior Yiyuan, to the Primordial Spirit level. This Fifth-Tier wild true spirit was simply unlucky; it hid in the desolate ruins for thousands of years, only to be slain by young friend Chen the moment it emerged."

At this moment, True Monarch Dakong explained the reason.

Since Chen Mobai was no longer pretending, he cooperated by raising the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl from behind his head, manifesting his Second Primordial Spirit.

The innate pure yang energy, equivalent to the God Transformation realm, diffused outwards, simultaneously astonishing everyone and causing them to suddenly understand.

No wonder this battlefield was filled with traces of rampant fire elemental true energy; so this was why.

"Congratulations, Sect Master Chen, on your great achievement in divine abilities!"

"It's all thanks to True Monarch Guixian; otherwise, tens of thousands of cultivators might have died under this Fifth-Tier true spirit."

"As expected of the legitimate Yiyuan lineage, to be able to cultivate a Primordial Spirit avatar while still in the Nascent Soul stage!"

In an instant, the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, who had originally been praising True Monarch Dakong, immediately turned their focus, altering the subjects of their yet-unspoken praises and directing all sorts of compliments towards Chen Mobai.

Many also looked towards Tude and the other cultivators of the Yiyuan Dao Palace.

As things stood, the dispute over the legitimate Yiyuan lineage had already settled.

It was just unknown whether Tude was willing to concede.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen. Your Yiyuan Dao Body is somewhat different from the one passed down by our Dao Palace Ancestor."

At this moment, Tude finally recovered his senses. Suppressing his inner dread, he gritted his teeth and congratulated Chen Mobai, but then uttered a remark that seemed perplexing to the others.

Only Xuanshui and Yanhuo, who were behind Tude, understood.

This was because Chen Mobai's Second Primordial Spirit was completely different from the Yiyuan Dao Body they had seen.

But under these circumstances, they didn't have the courage to say that Chen Mobai wasn't the legitimate Yiyuan lineage holder. Only Tude still intended to use this to make a bid for it.

"The Yiyuan Dao Body passed down by Patriarch Yiyuan to your Five Emperors Mountain lineage was originally based on the 'Outer Body Avatar,' one of the twenty-four great arts of the Longevity Sect. However, he simplified it greatly, considering that later disciples wouldn't have his resources and talent."

"My Yiyuan Dao Body is the original 'Outer Body Avatar,' more comprehensive and powerful than what your Yiyuan Dao Palace has inherited."

"For Senior Brother Tude to notice this, you truly live up to your role as the steward of the Five Emperors Mountain lineage."

Chen Mobai, however, smiled and gave a reason.

Hearing his words, Xuanshui and Yanhuo's faces showed dawning comprehension, and they already believed Chen Mobai.

Even Tude was half-believing, half-doubting.

This was because True Monarch Yiyuan's greatest fortune, from being a mere pioneer cultivator to ascending, was the legacy left by the Heavenly Venerate of the Longevity Sect.

They had also heard from the previous grand elder and palace master that the Yiyuan Dao Body was derived from the Outer Body Avatar.

To be able to cultivate a Primordial Spirit avatar while still in the Nascent Soul stage—at least no one in the history of the Yiyuan Dao Palace had ever achieved this.

It must be the Outer Body Avatar!

The original great art of the Longevity Sect was actually this powerful?

While everyone was inwardly shocked, they also recalled that when Chen Mobai first emerged in the Eastern Barrens, he had declared himself the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect.

At that time, everyone had thought he had merely obtained a small part of the Longevity Sect's inheritance.

After all, as the original major sect of Eastern Continent, many cultivators had obtained incomplete Five Elements Immortal Scriptures and the twenty-four great arts from various ruins. Although occasionally some extraordinary individuals could cultivate them, they were incomplete and only served as reference for Nascent Soul cultivators like them.

Therefore, no one had paid attention to Chen Mobai's claim of being the Longevity Sect's Saint Son.

But now, upon reflection, it was likely that what he obtained was not an incomplete Longevity Sect inheritance, but something similar to True Monarch Yiyuan.

Or rather, he had obtained everything from True Monarch Yiyuan and simultaneously inherited the karmic ties that this ascended cultivator had with the Longevity Sect.

Thinking this, everyone no longer had any doubts about Chen Mobai's origins.

It must be that before True Monarch Yiyuan ascended, he discovered that his ties with the Longevity Sect hadn't been fully resolved, so he left his true inheritance in the Eastern Barrens. Six thousand years later, it was obtained by Chen Mobai, a peerless genius.

It all matched up, everything matched up!

At this moment, even Tude's face showed dawning realization. He felt that Chen Guixian, standing before him, was indeed the rightful successor of the Yiyuan lineage, compared to himself.

"Junior Brother, since you have slain a Fifth-Tier true spirit today, you are certainly entitled to a Transcendent True Spirit Pill. I congratulate you here and wish you an early success in reaching God Transformation. I hope that in the future, when you have time, you will visit the Five Emperors Mountain more often and teach the orthodox secret true methods to our branch sects and separate courtyards."

As soon as Tude spoke these words, Chen Mobai was somewhat stunned.

His hundred-year-long impersonation of the legitimate Yiyuan lineage... had just become real like this?

And it was personally acknowledged by the representative of the orthodox lineage.

If he were to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm in the future and meet True Monarch Yiyuan, would this matter enrage him?

But at this moment, Chen Mobai certainly couldn't say he was a fake.

"Of course, of course. After I achieve God Transformation, I will come to Five Emperors Mountain to retrieve the Primordial Chaos Bell."

Chen Mobai was not at all modest; it was best to secure the benefits first.

With a Sixth-Tier magical artifact on him, he would have confidence whether facing the pioneering war on the Immortal Gate side or the potentially formidable enemy, True Monarch Tianling, in the Heavenly River Realm.

"Sect Master Junior Brother, True Monarch, the demonic beasts in the Kan position have recently rioted. If our Dao Palace cultivators are away for too long, the territory we just recently occupied and built up might be destroyed..."

Tude dared not promise the Primordial Chaos Bell, but he also dared not refuse Chen Mobai, who possessed God Transformation combat power. He could only bid farewell, intending to return and carefully consider his future choices.

Should he surrender directly, or fight to the death?

"Young friend, since they are from your lineage, you can give the orders."

In response to Tude's departure, True Monarch Dakong spoke kindly to Chen Mobai.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Tude to pioneer the Kan position for the sect. Senior Brothers and Sisters have also worked hard..."

Chen Mobai nodded with a smile, granting permission. In front of so many people, Tude had already yielded and admitted his branch sect status. If Chen Mobai were to press the attack further, it would seem unlike the righteous path. In front of outsiders, Chen Mobai was still willing to display his magnanimity. He also didn't forget to greet Xuanshui and Yanhuo, who were behind Tude.

In the future, these would all be his people.

"Not at all!"

"It's our duty!"

Xuanshui and Yanhuo immediately spoke up, responding to Chen Mobai with respectful expressions.

Especially Xuanshui, she recalled how she had once privately cursed Chen Mobai as an impolite country bumpkin.

She only hoped that remark would never be known by the Sect Master Guixian standing before her.

"Sect Master Junior Brother, then we shall go suppress the demonic beasts first."

Seeing Xuanshui and Yanhuo's attitude, Tude knew that it would be impossible to incite the Yiyuan Dao Palace against the Five Elements Sect. After sighing inwardly and bidding farewell, he had already made a decision.

"Young friend, why don't you pack up, and we can leave too."

True Monarch Dakong looked at the Liuli's corpse and said to Chen Mobai. The latter nodded, took out a storage bag, and placed the Liuli's corpse inside.

In front of this God Transformation cultivator from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, there was no need for him to display his domain.

After learning that True King Taixu was searching for the Gate of Grand Void, Chen Mobai felt he still needed to be more cautious and avoid exposure.

If the one who taught him the Four Books of Grand Void was indeed that person, then they would naturally seek him out again in the future.

For now, it was better to interact with these cultivators from the Heavenly River Realm under the identity of the legitimate Yiyuan lineage successor and the Saint Son of the Longevity Sect.

After Chen Mobai properly stored the Liuli's corpse, he activated the Taiyi Five-Smokes Gauze, carrying everyone aboard.

"With this demonic beast and the Golden Flame Suanni, Senior True Monarch Wuchen will be able to refine two batches of Transcendent True Spirit Pills. It seems our hopes have greatly increased."

On the way back, Xingji couldn't help but speak, already envisioning a bright future.

"That's hard to say. After all, refining the Transcendent True Spirit Pill is a very energy-consuming process. Senior Wuchen will likely only refine one batch in the short term."

The speaker was Palace Master Biluo, but her words carried the weight of the Three Great Sacred Lands.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression subtly shifted, and he looked at True Monarch Dakong.

"Girl Biluo is right. Here in Eastern Continent, while we are willing for new God Transformation True Monarchs to emerge among the righteous path, we do not wish for their numbers to exceed our control. One batch is the tacit agreement set by our three sects."

True Monarch Dakong directly transmitted his voice to Chen Mobai, explaining the reason.

After a batch of Transcendent True Spirit Pills was divided among the Three Great Sacred Lands, at most two or three pills would be given to righteous path Nascent Soul cultivators like Xingji and Hongyun.

But now, with the addition of Chen Mobai, it would be divided among the Four Great Sacred Lands, meaning outsiders would receive at most one or two pills.

This way, even if new God Transformation cultivators emerged, the situation would still remain under the control of these established sacred lands, ensuring their combined dominance over Eastern Continent.

"Senior is truly far-sighted."

Chen Mobai immediately understood the crux of the matter and responded to True Monarch Dakong.

At this moment, the smile on Xingji's face had already frozen. With his intelligence, he also understood the meaning of the Three Great Sacred Lands from Palace Master Biluo's words.

Previously, because Yuan Qingque had ascended and the number of God Transformation cultivators in the Eastern Continent's righteous path was insufficient, they had given opportunities to perfected Nascent Soul cultivators outside the sacred lands, hoping for new pillars of God Transformation to emerge within the righteous path.

But now with Chen Mobai, and the high hope of Shen Xi from the Dao Virtue Sect breaking through, it meant that the original Four Great Sacred Lands structure could be tacitly maintained, ruling Eastern Continent.

However, Xingji was not without hope.

He just needed to compete with Tude, Hongyun, Han Xingzi, Mu Youyi, and the others.

At least the Four Great Sacred Lands would definitely yield one Transcendent True Spirit Pill to an outsider.

As long as he could ensure he possessed the most Merit Coins outside of the Four Great Sacred Lands.

Upon thinking of this, Xingji suddenly couldn't stay still and bade farewell: "Within the Qian position that my sect is guarding and developing, many demonic beasts have also rioted due to the aura of the Fifth-Tier true spirit..."

True Monarch Dakong knew Xingji's thoughts and did not stop him, waving his hand to let him go.

At this moment, they had also arrived at Dongling Immortal City.

A clear spiritual light, riding on white clouds, flew up. It was Shen Xi, who had come to take charge of Dongling Immortal City's defensive formation after being notified by Palace Master Biluo.

He first bowed to True Monarch Dakong, thanking him for slaying the Fifth-Tier true spirit.

"It wasn't me..."

Facing Shen Xi, True Monarch Dakong was relatively restrained, patiently pointing to Chen Mobai and explaining again.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi, despite his composure, couldn't help but show a shocked expression, and the white clouds beneath his feet nearly dissipated.

"Sect Master Chen is truly humble. To have cultivated such an avatar and not even publicize it."

Hearing Shen Xi's words, Chen Mobai waved his hand dismissively, his face showing nonchalance.

"It's merely a great achievement in a protective divine ability, nothing worth mentioning. For cultivators like us, it's breaking through one's own cultivation realm and gaining longer lifespan that is truly worth celebrating."

As soon as Chen Mobai spoke these words, everyone's faces were filled with admiration.

"This time, it's all thanks to Sect Master Chen. Otherwise, facing a Fifth-Tier true spirit, this immortal city might not have been defensible."

Shen Xi solemnly thanked Chen Mobai, then welcomed him and True Monarch Dakong to the uppermost floor of Qianyuan Tower, instructing Xuande and Qi Jiansu to arrange the finest meals.

Xuande and Qi Jiansu descended the stairs with shocked gazes. Chen Mobai also briefly described his encounter with the Fifth-Tier Liuli.

Since the Liuli had been continuously taking hits, giving him enough time to build up momentum and unleash his peak Primordial Yang Sword Art, there wasn't actually much to tell.

It was just a great battle, and he slew it.

"Sect Master Chen, how do you plan to handle the Liuli's corpse? If you are willing to transfer it, you may enter our Dao Virtue Sect's treasury and select Fifth-Tier resources of equivalent value."

Shen Xi had asked about the fight precisely to lead the conversation to this point.

For the Dao Virtue Sect, a Fifth-Tier true spirit's corpse guaranteed at least one batch of Transcendent True Spirit Pills.

Moreover, it could be used by them. Even if half was given to Chen Mobai, it would at least ensure that future generations of Dao Sons and Saintesses would have a chance to reach God Transformation.

"I originally intended to use it to refine some magical artifacts. With my artifact refining skills, refining two Fifth-Tier defensive artifacts shouldn't be a problem..."

Chen Mobai stated his thoughts: the Liuli's fur could be made into a magical robe for his precious disciple Zhuo Ming, and its two tusks could be refined into a pair of hook-shaped flying swords.

"Sect Master Chen seems to have fully inherited True Monarch Yiyuan's artifact refining legacy. I wonder if, during the refining process, you could reserve a spot for a 'fire-stoking apprentice'? I have a friend in Central Province whose son is obsessed with artifact refining, and recently, she's been hoping to get him a Fifth-Tier Artifact Master title..."

At this moment, Palace Master Biluo couldn't help but speak.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

He truly disliked this kind of practice.

However, Palace Master Biluo was, after all, True Monarch Dakong's disciple, so he had to give her some face.

"Naturally, no problem. Please leave a communication talisman, Palace Master. If I prepare to refine artifacts, I will send you a message."

"Many thanks!"

Palace Master Biluo thanked him delightedly.

"There are many good things in the Dao Virtue Sect's treasury that I've coveted. If young friend has time in the future, you can go and take a look."

True Monarch Dakong spoke, and Chen Mobai nodded after listening.

As the oldest sacred land in Eastern Continent and a renowned alchemy sect in the Heavenly River Realm, the Dao Virtue Sect's foundation was no less than that of the sacred lands in Central Province.

If a favorable agreement could be reached, Chen Mobai would be willing to exchange the Liuli's essence blood with them.

"How are the preparations for the Celestial and Terrestrial Xuanji Array progressing?"

True Monarch Dakong then asked Shen Xi about the main business.

"The spiritual meridian has not yet been fully upgraded; it will likely require another half a year."

Shen Xi reported on the progress. The lair where the Golden Flame Suanni was hiding possessed a natural formation, which was why the two God Transformation True Monarchs couldn't force their way in.

The simplest solution was to use the Celestial and Terrestrial Xuanji Array to seal off the lair's spiritual meridian, which would naturally break the formation.

"If it's a formation..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it was his area of expertise.
