Chapter 1086: Three Phoenix Dharma Image

Chapter

Above Mount Tianpeng, a rain of five-colored spiritual energy descended, as three phoenix deities of different hues danced gracefully. With each flap of their wings, various forms of spiritual energy surged, falling onto the earth. This energy was then channeled by Chen Mobai, via the Sky-Earth Network Formation, to the major immortal cities of the Eastern Barrens, replenishing the energy consumed during the refining of the Primal Chaos Orb.

The manifestation of his Divine Transformation, formed by the fusion of the 'Vermillion Phoenix Facing the Sun' diagram and the 'Pure Yang Scroll,' took on various phoenix forms. However, his manifestations differed somewhat from Daoist Dandian's. The Azure Bird represented the sublimation and transformation of his original Nascent Soul, the Vermillion Phoenix embodied the second Nascent Soul's Dao of Holy Virtue, and the Cai Bird was the spirit of the Five Elements from his Primal Chaos True Qi.

For Chen Mobai, the weakest among them was naturally his original Azure Bird, which was only equivalent to a nascent Divine Transformation stage. Next were the Vermillion Phoenix and the Cai Bird. Because he possessed the sixth-tier Primordial Yang Sword, and the Vermillion Phoenix's Dao of Holy Virtue could not be countered by Primal Chaos True Qi, the Vermillion Phoenix was slightly stronger. However, when encountering opponents with Five-Element attributes, the five-colored peacock formed by the Primal Chaos Orb would be even more formidable than the Vermillion Phoenix.

With these three manifestations, Chen Mobai felt he had nothing left to fear in the Heavenly River Realm. Thinking of this, he decided he should give his manifestations a name. Daoist Dandian's were called the Three Azure Birds. Since his were three different phoenix-shaped divine birds, he could name them the "Three Phoenix Manifestations." Chen Mobai was very pleased with this name.

At this point, the spiritual energy dispersed from the heavenly tribulation had been fully integrated by him into the Eastern Barrens' spiritual veins, and with a wave of his hand, he retracted all three Phoenix Manifestations. His vast divine sense circulated, accurately locating Qing Nu in the Yellow Dragon Grotto. The good news of his successful Divine Transformation naturally had to be shared first with his Dao companion. With a thought, Chen Mobai activated the Great Void Teleportation, stepping forth from the mountain peak.

In the Yellow Dragon Grotto, Qing Nu, who had also sensed the Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation, gazed anxiously towards Mount Tianpeng. Although she knew that with the Sky-Earth Network Formation in place, this tribulation posed no life threat, its scale was simply too immense. Even from her distant location in the heart of Cloud Dream Lake, she could feel the extremely condensed, terrifying celestial energy descending from the Ninth Heaven. Any Nascent Soul cultivator caught within it would instantly turn to ash.

"I hope you can pass through safely..." Qing Nu prayed continuously in her heart.

Just then, a silver light suddenly illuminated before her. The figure she had long worried about stepped out of the void, smiling as he looked at her.

Tongtian Peak in the Eastern Lands.

Dazzling bolts of lightning churned in the clouds above the Ninth Heaven, gathering into crimson thunderclouds. Yuan Zhen stood before the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, her expression solemn as she looked up. She knew this was the precursor to a Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation; the crimson Yang Thunder represented the most fiery and destructive power. Beside her were twenty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators, holding formation flags that shimmered with dark light, collectively controlling the sixth-tier Profound Heaven Demon Extermination Formation!

"It seems our Sect Master has finally succeeded this time!" Yuan Huanghe, the head of the Yuan family, spoke beside Yuan Zhen, his expression full of relief.

For holy lands like theirs, the most difficult hurdle was often breaking through one's own bottleneck and transforming the Nascent Soul. Once the Primordial Spirit was cultivated, the subsequent heavenly tribulation could generally be overcome with the aid of formations, sixth-tier treasures, and so forth.

"With the Sect Master achieving Divine Transformation, and given the Dao Son's talent, he will surely succeed in the future. This way, our sect will have two Divine Transformation cultivators for the next thousand years, still holding the leading position among the righteous paths!" Wu Tianchi, another Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect, spoke with a touch of envy beside Yuan Huanghe.

(Yuan Zhen thought) *Succeeding after two Divine Transformations, and still having the nerve to speak. And to think he delayed Senior Brother...*

Listening to the conversation between the two elders beside her, Yuan Zhen's heart filled with resentment.

After the Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill was exchanged, significant disputes arose within the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect. Two factions, one supporting Ni Yuanzhong and the other Ye Qing, argued fiercely, with some even shouting slogans about dividing the sect. Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control and everyone was preparing to go to the uppermost level of the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, Ye Qing emerged from seclusion with his Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivation.

After Ye Qing emerged and learned of the situation from Yuan Zhen, he said little, only having a private conversation with Ni Yuanzhong. After their discussion, Ye Qing voluntarily stepped forward, stating that he had achieved no merit during the pioneering period and was unworthy of consuming the Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill. Thanks to his concession, Ni Yuanzhong once again obtained the opportunity for Divine Transformation.

Yuan Zhen did not understand this. Because even within a holy land, the opportunity for Divine Transformation was exceptionally precious. Besides Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing, the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect had two other Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivators, but they had waited until their lifespans were nearing their end without ever receiving their chance. If Yuan Zhen were in Ye Qing's position, facing the Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill, she would have fought with Ni Yuanzhong for it no matter what. After all, Ni Yuanzhong's previous failure in Divine Transformation was his greatest blemish. By arguing that Ni Yuanzhong had already used one Divine Transformation opportunity, Ye Qing could, according to the sect's laws, have obtained this Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill.

But Ye Qing was not Yuan Zhen; he was unwilling to cause a schism within the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect for his own Divine Transformation opportunity. During their conversation, Ni Yuanzhong had also expressed his stance: this was his final Divine Transformation opportunity, and he would not relinquish it under any circumstances. If Ye Qing wanted the Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill, the two of them would have to settle it with their swords. The victor would claim the pill!

But Ye Qing chose not to draw his sword. After all, with Yuan Qingque's ascension, it was Ye Qing's turn to protect the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect. Furthermore, he was still young and would have another opportunity. This made Yuan Zhen realize that her Senior Brother, who was so ruthless to enemies, was actually so indecisive. She disapproved of this, as in the Heavenly River Realm, if you retreated one step, others would advance two. If he gave up the Saint-Connecting True Spirit Pill today, what if another older elder stepped forward in the future and demanded another concession? To advance valiantly, one must constantly contend, yielding not an inch! This was Yuan Zhen's belief. Her achievements today, despite her ordinary talent, came from her step-by-step victories against various opponents within the Yuan family and the sect, achieved through competition.

Therefore, Yuan Zhen strongly disagreed with Ye Qing's choice, because his concession would also disappoint the sect elders who had always stood by him, cheering him on. Once morale dispersed, it would be difficult to gather it again. Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen looked at Ye Qing, who was sitting at the entrance of the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, with the Grand Harmony Sword resting on his lap. No one was near him. Watching the calmly meditating Ye Qing, Yuan Zhen suddenly understood a little more. It was precisely this kind of Ye Qing whom she had always admired, viewing him as the goal for her own efforts. If he were like other cultivators in this world—ruthless, and unscrupulous for his own gain—he would not have earned the love and loyalty of so many in the sect.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhen also thought of the Five Elements Sect Master from the Eastern Barrens, who was clear-headed and elegant, gentle and refined. Both had similar temperaments: outwardly gentle, inwardly proud, yet possessing their own unwavering principles, a morality superior to anyone else's! They were out of place in this depraved and brutal world. And precisely for this reason, the two could become the best of friends. True friends are few in this world! *I wonder if he has already succeeded in Divine Transformation?*

Just as Yuan Zhen thought of Chen Mobai, thunder gathered in the sky. A crimson bolt of Yang Thunder, like the wrath of a god, carrying immense heat and destructive power that tore through the void, heavily struck behind the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower. This was the most spiritually abundant place in the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect, but because Ni Yuanzhong dared not cultivate atop the tower for fear of being reprimanded by Yuan Qingque, he instead built a wooden hut behind it. Nevertheless, the spiritual energy here was at least sixth-tier, which was sufficient for Divine Transformation.

Ni Yuanzhong, who had already broken through his bottleneck, looked up at the tribulation lightning. With a flicker of his body, he appeared outside the grand formation, confronting the heavenly tribulation directly. Holy lands, possessing grand formations and sixth-tier supreme treasures, would first attempt to face the heavenly tribulation themselves. Only when they truly could not overcome it would they rely on external aid.

Amidst a deafening roar, the crimson Yang Thunder struck Ni Yuanzhong's head. His expression unchanged, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations. From his sleeve, the Flowing Weight Sword rose like water, forming a dark black sword aura above his head. The crimson Yang Thunder crashed down, colliding with the Flowing Weight Sword Aura, emitting an ear-splitting roar. The entire Tongtian Peak mountain range trembled slightly amidst the Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation, causing the expressions of Yuan Zhen and others below to subtly change. Although the sect's ancient texts recorded many Divine Transformation heavenly tribulations, this was the first time they, as Nascent Soul cultivators, had truly encountered one. Even within the grand formation, they felt their Dao bodies trembling slightly, and some of their Dharma Body Nascent Souls, or even their physical bodies, began to appear illusory.

At some point, Ye Qing opened his eyes, staring intently at the heavenly tribulation in mid-air. As time passed, the Yang Thunder in the sky grew denser, its crimson light dyeing the entire Tongtian Peak mountain range blood-red. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth also began to riot. Even though all the disciples of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect were within the formation and not cultivating, they still felt their spiritual energy surging uncontrollably in their Dantian Sea of Qi.

At this moment, Ni Yuanzhong had also activated his Primordial Spirit manifestation. A dark black ethereal light rose from his head, accompanied by the sound of surging waves and splashing water. It combined with the Flowing Weight Sword, transforming into a colossal Black Tortoise that covered the mountain peak. The Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation, at this moment, finally evolved to its most intense point. The crimson Yang Thunder erupted with unprecedented dazzling brilliance, crashing down with a violent roar. Ni Yuanzhong was entirely enveloped within the Black Tortoise manifestation. As the tribulation lightning struck from all directions, the Black Tortoise manifestation shifted from solid to ethereal, yet no matter how many attacks it endured, it remained formless but undispelled, preventing any bolt of tribulation lightning from landing on the mountain range.

As time went on, under the tempering of the heavenly tribulation, the Black Tortoise manifestation began to become clearer. Especially the shell on its back, with its dark greenish-black patterns appearing one by one, seemed to contain the profound truths of heaven and earth. It complemented the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's sixth-tier grand formation, resolving the final waves of tribulation lightning. Seeing this, Ye Qing nodded slightly, knowing that this Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation had been successfully overcome.

As the last bolt of Yang Thunder dissipated, the crimson clouds in the sky slowly began to disperse, and a ray of sunlight shone down once more. The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect before the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower couldn't help but smile at this sight. No matter what disputes had occurred before, as long as Ni Yuanzhong succeeded in Divine Transformation, everything could be forgiven. Only with a Divine Transformation cultivator could a holy land truly be considered a holy land.

In mid-air, the faint water light around Ni Yuanzhong dissipated, and the Black Tortoise manifestation merged into his body. His aura, however, became even more profound and vast. "He's finally achieved Divine Transformation!" Feeling the surging power within him, more than ten times stronger than before, Ni Yuanzhong's lips curved into a satisfied smile. Having passed this tribulation, he was now one of the peak existences in the Heavenly River Realm.

Just as he was about to burst into laughter, an incredibly eerie chill suddenly descended from the Ninth Heaven. "There's still more tribulation?" Ni Yuanzhong's heart jolted, but he didn't panic. The Flowing Weight Sword, like flowing water, flew out from his sleeve, striking towards the shimmering white light descending from the sky. At this moment, Ni Yuanzhong suddenly felt the surrounding water-elemental spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which he should have been able to draw upon, suddenly slip out of his control. The power of the Flowing Weight Sword was consequently weakened to the level of an ordinary fifth-tier item. The shimmering white light descending from the Ninth Heaven now revealed its true form: a stark white bone bead!

"A Bone Relic! That old demon is still alive!" The moment he saw the bone bead, Ni Yuanzhong knew who his opponent was. He immediately activated his Black Tortoise manifestation, drawing upon the power of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's sixth-tier formation, preparing to confront the Bone King. He even intended to use the geographical advantage to slay him and display his Divine Transformation might!

"Stabilize!" But at this moment, an ancient, chilling dragon's roar ascended into the sky. Following this, a colossal, azure bead, resembling surging waves, emerged from another point in the void and heavily smashed onto Ni Yuanzhong's Black Tortoise manifestation. With a loud *bang*, the mighty Black Tortoise manifestation, as if splashing water, was struck on its strongest back, forming a spiderweb-like crack that continuously fragmented. The Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's grand formation, connected to the Black Tortoise manifestation, also violently vibrated at this moment. The sixth-tier spiritual veins of Tongtian Peak also began to show signs of instability.

"Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl!" His Black Tortoise manifestation severely damaged, Ni Yuanzhong abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. His gaze sharpened as he looked at the suddenly appearing azure bead, realizing that this might be the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's greatest tribulation. He immediately made a decision.

"Junior Brother, you lead a portion of the disciples and leave first. I will stay here to confront the Bone King and the two True Spirit Dragons of the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court..." Ni Yuanzhong's spiritual message reached Ye Qing's ears, but at such a moment, how could he retreat?

Amidst a clang, the Grand Harmony Sword was unsheathed, transforming into a cold light that landed before Ni Yuanzhong. "Senior Brother, I cannot intervene in a Divine Transformation battle. I lend you this sword. I, along with the elders, will activate the grand formation to power the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower and the formation itself!" After Ye Qing finished speaking, he took his position and began channeling his True Qi into the formation, working with Yuan Zhen and the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect to continuously boost the power of the sixth-tier formation.

"This Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl was the inner core of the ancestral Black Dragon that stirred up storms when the Profound Sea was first opened. It contains the Dao power to stabilize all water elements under heaven, and it precisely counters the Sect Master's cultivation method and our sect's grand formation!" But at this moment, Yuan Huanghe spoke with a solemn expression. The ancestor of the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court was the first Black Dragon at the dawn of creation, born with control over the water elements of the four seas. If not for the Dao already being occupied by the Mother of Water, it would have been at the Dao Integration stage upon birth. Even so, the Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl it left behind remained the most terrifying magical treasure for cultivators who practiced water-attributed cultivation methods. Both the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect and the Dao Virtue Sect's cultivation methods were countered by this pearl. The Dao Virtue Sect was better off, as they didn't specialize. But the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's methods were primarily water-elemental.

It was precisely for this reason that for so many years, the Holy Lands of Eastern Continent could only allow the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court to roam freely in the Profound Sea at their doorstep. But the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court had never been so brazen as to dare cause trouble at Tongtian Peak. However, given enough time, anything can happen, and today they witnessed it. Two long, black dragon-shaped True Spirits, riding on surging waves, descended from the Ninth Heaven, swinging their massive claws fiercely towards Ni Yuanzhong.

The Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl hung in mid-air. Ni Yuanzhong dared not activate his Black Tortoise manifestation again. He could only wield the Grand Harmony Sword to first parry the bone bead thrown by the Bone King, then his divine sense descended, beginning to channel the sixth-tier spiritual vein energy into the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower. Under the Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl, the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's sixth-tier grand formation could only exert a fraction of its power, barely able to protect the Nascent Soul cultivators and disciples below from perishing in the aftermath of the Divine Transformation battle. In that case, it would be better to directly use the spiritual veins to activate the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower! A mighty Dao refining power, activated by Ni Yuanzhong, surged skyward, colliding with the claws of the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court's two flood dragons.

"Quickly inform the Dao Virtue Sect and the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, and ask Senior Wu Chen and Senior Da Kong to come for assistance!" While wielding the Grand Harmony Sword and the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower to resist the attacks of the three Divine Transformation cultivators, Ni Yuanzhong sent a spiritual message to the sect's Nascent Soul cultivators.

"The Dao Virtue Sect said that Sect Master Shen Xi is also at a critical juncture of his breakthrough, having already triggered a heavenly tribulation phenomenon. To ensure absolute safety, Senior Wu Chen cannot come for now." Yuan Zhen had already been doing this the moment she saw the Bone King and the Abyss Stabilizing Sea Pearl appear, but the result left a bitter taste in her mouth.

"What about Senior Da Kong?" Ye Qing asked.

"We only managed to contact the Grand Void Ethereal Palace. They said they would relay the message, but there's been no response yet!" Yuan Zhen did not possess communication talismans for the two Divine Transformation cultivators, so she could only send messages to the two great holy lands. The Dao Virtue Sect happened to have Wu Chen within the sect, so they replied immediately.

Only Divine Transformation cultivators could participate in Divine Transformation-level battles. Even though Ye Qing was at Great Perfection Nascent Soul and possessed the Grand Harmony Dao Fruit, even if he held the Grand Harmony Sword, should he dare to step out of the formation and enter the battlefield in mid-air, his physical body would be shattered by the aftermath within a few breaths.

However, as an ancient holy land of the Eastern Continent, the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect naturally had extraordinary foundations. Facing the three Divine Transformation cultivators in the sky, everyone's expressions were solemn, yet Yuan Huanghe and a few other top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators remained as steady as mountains.

"If it truly comes to that, we'll have no choice but to sacrifice Zhen'er!" Yuan Huanghe suddenly spoke to Yuan Zhen beside him, and her delicate face instantly turned pale.

The Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect possessed a secret technique that could invite an ascended cultivator from the Upper Realm to descend, but it required a vessel perfectly compatible with the ascended cultivator. As a bloodline descendant of the Yuan family, combined with her refining of the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit left by Yuan Qingque before her ascension, Yuan Zhen was currently the most suitable candidate. And this was also the original purpose of the Dao Fruit when it was first researched. But even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator, how could they fully bear the power of an ascended cultivator? Moreover, if Yuan Qingque were to act to slay the Bone King and the two True Spirit Flood Dragons, she would inevitably unleash power close to the Void Refinement stage. In that case, after the battle, Yuan Zhen's vessel would certainly be unable to withstand it. At best, her physical body would be destroyed and her cultivation rendered useless; at worst, she would be annihilated.

It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Zhen had been most proactive in contacting the other two great holy lands. She had known this point when she first accepted the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit inheritance. But no one, at that time, would have refused. Because the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect had not faced such a sect-destroying calamity for thousands of years, Yuan Zhen did not believe that there would ever be a day when she would need to sacrifice her life to invite Yuan Qingque to descend. Yet, she never imagined that today...

"Yes, family head!" Although deeply unwilling, Yuan Zhen clearly understood that her achievements today were inseparable from the cultivation of her family and sect. Under these circumstances, she certainly could not, and dared not, refuse. As soon as she spoke, Yuan Huanghe and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If Yuan Zhen had resisted, although they had coercive means, the situation would have been very ugly. But ultimately, she was a member of their own family, and at this critical juncture, she was willing to make the sacrifice.

"Junior Sister's cultivation is too weak. If Master descends, she would likely only manage one strike at most. Let me do it!" But at this moment, Ye Qing spoke, causing Yuan Zhen to be moved to tears while also shaking her head vehemently.

"Dao Son, absolutely not! With your talent, you will surely achieve Divine Transformation after this tribulation. Moreover, the Sect Master has just achieved Divine Transformation and is already facing such powerful enemies; it will definitely harm his foundation and lifespan. In the future, the sect will still rely on you!"

"Indeed, and Dao Son, you are not of the Yuan family bloodline. Even if Patriarch Profound Heaven once comprehended the Grand Harmony Dao Fruit, the chances of the descent method succeeding are extremely slim for you."

"The Saintess's talent is almost at its peak. To die for the sect in this manner would instead allow her to be remembered by all of us, and even countless future disciples, establishing an incomparably glorious image..." All Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect, including Yuan Huanghe, were trying to persuade Ye Qing.

For them, after long years, familial affection and such had long faded; only their devotion to the sect had become ingrained in their very bones. To sacrifice for the sect was a great righteousness! And while making the sacrifice, they also had to ensure that the sect would remain among the holy lands for the next thousand years. Therefore, Ye Qing could absolutely not be lost.

Yuan Zhen felt a surge of grievance upon hearing their words, yet she dared not say that she didn't want to sacrifice herself. Ye Qing also frowned deeply. He knew that what the elders beside him were saying was correct, but given his personality, he certainly couldn't stand by and watch Yuan Zhen die. However, looking at Ni Yuanzhong in the sky, who, despite possessing two sixth-tier magic artifacts, was steadily losing ground under the siege of the three Divine Transformation cultivators, Ye Qing couldn't bring himself to utter any self-serving words.

"Oh, right, isn't there Sect Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect? He also has Divine Transformation combat power. Can we invite him to help?" Just then, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect suddenly mentioned this. Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's hope reignited, and he looked at Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen had been the one contacting the Five Elements Sect all these years.

"I'm afraid not. Not long ago, I received news from the Eastern Barrens that Sect Master Chen also just triggered his Divine Transformation heavenly tribulation..." Yuan Zhen let out a bitter laugh, lowering her head, preparing to accept her fate.

"Alas, it seems to be destiny!" Yuan Huanghe sighed. If he could, he too would not wish for Yuan Zhen to sacrifice herself, but in the face of the sect's survival, it was necessary.

"Junior Sister, after I achieve Divine Transformation, I will slaughter all demonic cultivators and the Profound Sea Flood Dragons to avenge you!" Ye Qing knew that Yuan Zhen's sacrifice today was inevitable. His eyes bloodshot, he gnashed his teeth and swore an oath.

"Senior Brother, you are destined to ascend. There's no need to entangle yourself further for my sake. The days I cultivated with you were my most relaxed..." Before her death, Yuan Zhen also came to terms with it. She recalled the days she spent with Ye Qing as the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's world-traveler. During that time, Ye Qing handled most matters, and she only needed to manage spirit stones, reconcile accounts, and tally gains. It was also during that period that she and Ye Qing met Chen Mobai in the Eastern Barrens. *If only time could stop then.*

Thinking this, Yuan Zhen took out a communication talisman from her storage bag. It was Chen Mobai's. She felt she could now say some things she had never dared to before. She hoped that after his Divine Transformation, he would still remember her as a friend during his two millennia of life. With this thought, Yuan Zhen activated the communication talisman, letting it fly unsteadily towards the Eastern Barrens amidst the wildly fluctuating spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Prepare the altar!" Yuan Huanghe spoke. Two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yuan family beside him nodded, and then Yuan Zhen followed them into the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower.

Yellow Dragon Grotto.

Qing Nu had also recovered from the immense joy of Chen Mobai's successful Divine Transformation. As the couple spoke, Zhuo Ming, the little Yellow Dragon Girl, the Grand Earth Sprite, Jin Ling'er, and others who were also there, came over.

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving Divine Transformation and attaining two millennia of life!" Zhuo Ming, her face beaming with joy, led everyone in a grand bow of congratulation.

"Hahaha, rise. Your cultivations have also progressed quite a bit over the past year or so." Chen Mobai waved his hand, and everyone involuntarily stood up. He sensed that Zhuo Ming's body tempering had reached the peak of the third tier, and she would soon reach the fourth tier. The little Yellow Dragon Girl and the Grand Earth Sprite, moreover, had condensed auras, clearly having consumed the flesh of a fifth-tier True Spirit and gained considerable benefits.

"The two Daoist friends, Dragon and Phoenix, from the Sky Feast Pavilion are currently still in the Eastern Barrens. We still owe much to them..." Qing Nu said with a smile.
