Chapter 1094: Arriving at Wudi Mountain

We are inherently from the same lineage; there's no question of abandoning darkness for light.

While helping Xiao Yuli up, Chen Mobai had already thoroughly examined her current physical condition.

"This Blood Spirit Demonic Light is quite interesting. I have two methods to completely resolve it; see which one suits you best…"

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Xiao Yuli's face lit up with joy. She knew that in the Eastern Lands, she had consulted many Nascent Soul cultivators, but all they offered for Diao Xianlan's Blood Spirit Demonic Light were temporary solutions. As expected of a God Transformation True Monarch!

"Method one: I personally act to forcefully dissipate this mass of Blood Spirit Demonic Light. However, some of your vital essence has already been absorbed and refined by it, so you would permanently lose that part of your origin."

"Method two: I use the power of my Primordial Orb to seal this Blood Spirit Demonic Light, rendering you unaffected by it. I will also impart a secret technique to you, which, when combined with your Primordial True Qi, will allow you to slowly refine and reabsorb it into yourself over a long period of future cultivation."

"The first method is immediate. Afterward, I'll have my wife help refine some foundational restorative elixirs, which would at most set back your diligent cultivation by a few years. The second method is slower but carries no risk of damage to your origin. If your comprehension is high enough, you could even use this opportunity to experience my God Transformation realm's Primordial True Qi, pointing the way for your future cultivation!"

The moment Chen Mobai finished speaking, Xiao Yuli chose Method Two without any hesitation.

After receiving the expected response, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, then extended a finger and drew a talisman in the air, which then sank into her Dantian Qi Sea. The moment the talisman entered her body, Xiao Yuli felt her Primordial True Qi, cultivated diligently for centuries, fully activated. It transformed into a vibrant five-colored net within her, drawing every trace of the Blood Spirit Demonic Light that had tormented her for so long from her flesh and blood, completely suppressing it. Soon after, a small crimson orb, bound by a five-colored glow, appeared in her Dantian Qi Sea.

"Remember this carefully; this is a higher-level application method for Primordial True Qi!"

At this moment, Chen Mobai began explaining a unique dissolution method he had created, using the Five Tones of Law, specifically for Xiao Yuli's condition. Su Zilu, who was standing nearby, was about to excuse herself and leave, but Chen Mobai stopped her, stating that it was a casually created technique, not a secret transmission. Unfortunately, both women simply assumed this was a standard ability for a God Transformation True Monarch, so there was no sense of shock.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing this Great Dao upon me!"

After the Blood Spirit Demonic Light was completely sealed, Xiao Yuli felt an unprecedented sense of ease, as if she had shed a chronic illness. As she expressed her gratitude, she also felt deep regret, wondering why she had left Beiyuan City in the first place. If she had bowed down in submission then, she certainly wouldn't have endured such suffering.

"According to the branch sect's rules, after you form your Nascent Soul, as a Saintess, you can inherit the positions of Palace Master or Grand Elder. Currently, the Grand Elder position in the branch sect is occupied by Earth Virtue, but the Palace Master position is still vacant, and I believe you are very suitable for it."

At this point, Chen Mobai explained why he hadn't asked Xiao Yuli to transfer to the Five Elements Sect. Although the Five Elements Sect had now replaced the One Yuan Dao Palace as the fourth largest holy land in the Eastern Continent, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, and the One Yuan Dao Palace still had considerable accumulated resources in the Eastern Lands. Even if Chen Mobai took the Primordial Bell in the future, he could treat the One Yuan Dao Palace as a branch company of the Five Elements Sect, or even use it as a foundation to gradually expand the Five Elements Sect's operations in the Eastern Lands. For this, a suitable leader was needed in the Eastern Lands. His preferred choice was naturally Chen Lingming, but it would be even better if Xiao Yuli was also willing to surrender. It would be convenient to transfer the Primordial Bell to the Five Elements Sect in her name.

"As the Sect Master commands!"

Xiao Yuli, being a discerning person, instantly understood Chen Mobai's underlying message and showed no hesitation.

"You should go and recuperate first. There might be some noise from the branch sect regarding your succession to the Palace Master position, so I'll accompany you there after some time."

Chen Mobai said with a smile. Su Zilu immediately led Xiao Yuli out of the main hall.

Shortly after, Chen Lingming was also summoned by Chen Mobai. After all, the One Yuan Dao Palace was a branch sect, and some people there likely harbored rebellious intentions. Chen Mobai was somewhat uneasy about Xiao Yuli going there alone.

"I shall respectfully obey the Sect Master's orders!" Chen Lingming said with a respectful expression.

"These are my insights on condensing the Primordial Orb after achieving God Transformation. Take them and study them…"

Before having someone do a task, Chen Mobai would always first offer a "carrot," providing some benefits to motivate the person, and this time was no exception. Chen Lingming excitedly received the jade slip with both hands, his attitude becoming even more respectful. Afterward, Chen Mobai sent a letter in his own name to the One Yuan Dao Palace in the Eastern Lands, stating that he would soon be arriving at Five Emperors Mountain. As soon as the letter was delivered, the entire One Yuan Dao Palace was in an uproar.

On Five Emperors Mountain, the remaining Mountain Masters, Wood Virtue and Water Virtue, along with Rianshui, who guarded One Yuan Immortal City—a total of three Nascent Soul cultivators—were looking distressed and sighing.

Wood Virtue: "What can we do about this?"

Water Virtue: "Chen GuiXian has already achieved God Transformation and refined the Primordial Orb. Even if we unite, we're nothing more than a puff of air to him."

Rianshui: "I've already sent a message to the Eastern Mausoleum Region. Since the Sect Master has achieved God Transformation, only Senior Brother Earth Virtue can come to receive him."

The moment Rianshui finished speaking, both Wood Virtue and Water Virtue stared straight at him. He hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already calling him 'Sect Master'?

Rianshui: "Ahem, if the two Mountain Masters have different opinions, I can recall the message talisman…"

Wood Virtue: "No, no, no!"

Water Virtue: "That's fine, Senior Brother Earth Virtue should indeed come to receive the Sect Master!"

The grievances between the One Yuan Dao Palace and the Five Elements Sect had already been resolved after Chen Mobai moved all the One Yuan legacies away. What remained was merely the private dispute between Earth Virtue and Chen Mobai. They had no need to get involved at all.

Rianshui: "Then I'll go prepare the welcoming ceremony for the Sect Master's arrival!"

Wood Virtue and Water Virtue's faces twitched slightly upon hearing this. As the Five Virtue Mountain Masters of One Yuan Dao Palace, their status was noble. Even if they feared Chen GuiXian, who had achieved God Transformation, they absolutely could not do something so undignified. At most, they would wait at the mountain gate for Chen GuiXian to ascend; they would absolutely not debase themselves by going further. After all, One Yuan Dao Palace was a Holy Land.

Eastern Mausoleum Region.

After reading the message talisman in his hand, Earth Virtue's face darkened. He was currently there, and his competition with Xing Ji had reached a fever pitch. Once he, a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator holding the line, left, the entire army he led in the Desolate Ruins would lose its pillar, and the progress of hunting demonic beasts would slow down. But Chen Mobai was coming to Five Emperors Mountain, and if he didn't go to receive him, the others probably wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of a God Transformation cultivator.

"Please ask Junior Brother Water Virtue to come here and hold the line for me; I'm returning to the sect for a trip!"

After thinking for a long time, Earth Virtue could only make this compromise. When the message reached Five Emperors Mountain, Water Virtue, who would normally certainly decline, came over directly without any hesitation this time. After all, everyone at One Yuan Dao Palace knew that Chen GuiXian's visit boded ill.

Earth Virtue returned to Five Emperors Mountain, heavy-hearted, and began checking the grand formation and other defenses, considering what trump cards he might have to make Chen Mobai hesitate if negotiations broke down. But against a God Transformation cultivator, One Yuan Dao Palace had very few effective foundations. Aside from the grand formation and the Primordial Bell, his only option was to use his life as a sacrifice to activate the Primordial Dao Fruit, manifesting the external incarnation left by True Monarch One Yuan. But doing that would be worse than simply bowing down in submission!

While One Yuan Dao Palace was filled with trepidation, Chen Mobai was leisurely improving his spirit root values in the Eastern Barrens.

Gold 30, Wood 53, Water 92, Fire 100, Earth 100.

Looking at the values of his five-element spirit roots on the spirit testing device, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction. At this point, he had already removed the fifth-tier water spirit talisman, so his water spirit root value was his true data. The reason it surged to 92 points, aside from refining the excess Celestial Realm Purified Water from Qing Nü, was also due to consuming the blood of a young flood dragon recently. A fifth-tier true spirit, even if not its essence blood, contains powerful source water essence. After consuming it, his water spirit root directly increased by 12 points. However, dragon scales did not have the effect of increasing spirit roots. Additionally, the flesh and blood of the Li Li beast could increase the consumer's Earth spirit root by 5 to 15 points, depending on the part. The blood and flesh from the vital parts increased it more. Since Chen Mobai's Earth spirit root was already perfect, this conclusion was only reached after testing other disciples who ate the true spirit dishes at the banquet. For Chen Mobai, refining the remaining Celestial Realm Purified Water in his possession would easily allow him to achieve 100 points in his water spirit root.

He was currently considering whether to undergo the Dao Comprehension for the Immortal Water Spirit Root in the Immortal Sect or the Celestial River Realm. In the past, he would certainly not have hesitated and would have chosen the Immortal Sect. However, his last Dao Comprehension for the Immortal Earth Spirit Root, which led him into the core of the Terrestrial Star and resulted in receiving the Demonic Thought inheritance of the World-Destroying Millstone, had left him with psychological trauma. After all, the World-Destroying Millstone contained three thousand demonic paths, and there might be another one suitable for him. As for the Celestial River Realm, because Qing Nü had comprehended the Dao and obtained a heaven-defying divine ability like Myriad Transformations Underworld Union, Chen Mobai was also very much looking forward to it. Moreover, the world's creator, the Water Mother, was a great water-element divine ability user, so he might be able to use this opportunity to glimpse the world's origin. Therefore, currently, Chen Mobai was inclined to comprehend the Dao in the Celestial River Realm. However, there was no need to rush this matter, as his Gold spirit root had not yet met the standard.

Chen Mobai was currently practicing the Transmutation Art. With his God Transformation realm understanding, he had already reached the third layer within just four months. Theoretically, spirit root enhancement techniques in the Immortal Sect could only be slowly improved through arduous cultivation. Refining heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the corresponding attribute could shorten the time. However, in an environment like the Immortal Sect, it was absolutely impossible to waste heavenly materials and earthly treasures in such a way. What Chen Mobai had in abundance was resources. This time, with his achievement of God Transformation, the gifts he received nearly filled the Beiyuan City treasury, including many precious ore metals. Everyone knew that Ancestor Chen was a sword cultivator and the foremost artifact refiner in the Eastern Continent, so gifts were certainly chosen to suit his preferences. Chen Mobai casually took a few pieces for cultivation, which was enough for his Transmutation Art practice. According to the deductions of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings, it would take approximately another five to six years. His exceptional comprehension was also a key factor in this. If it were Meng Huang'er, even with the same resources, it would probably take twenty years.

Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to redouble his efforts and continue practicing the Transmutation Art, he sensed a familiar aura appearing near the large teleportation array.

"Please invite her in quickly!"

Chen Mobai immediately stopped his cultivation on the peak of Beiyuan Mountain and sent a voice transmission to Gu Yan. The person who arrived was Yuan Zhen. Her arrival signified the delivery of seventh-tier immortal spiritual energy and the formula for the Great Dao Pill. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai also informed Qing Nü, as she was more specialized in matters of elixirs.

"Greetings, True Monarch!"

Yuan Zhen was led by Gu Yan into the main hall of Beiyuan City. Seeing Chen Mobai, her heart filled with joy, but upon noticing Qing Nü smiling beside him, her delight was immediately greatly diluted.

"Saintess Yuan, you've had a long journey. Please be seated!"

Chen Mobai personally brewed a pot of Dao Comprehension Tea. Yuan Zhen had already learned about this immortal tea from Ye Qing and others, and she drank it with great anticipation, then closed her eyes in meditation in her seat. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yuan Zhen opened her eyes, and a clear, sharp, yet vast sword intent, like the boundless blue sky, flashed through them. Clearly, she had used the Dao Comprehension Tea to gain insight into a crucial hurdle in her sword dao cultivation.

"Thank you, True Monarch, for the tea."

As Yuan Zhen expressed her thanks, she immediately took out a black cauldron and a jade slip from her storage bag. The cauldron had a lid, clearly indicating that what was sealed within was seventh-tier immortal spiritual energy. The jade slip, naturally, contained the formula for the Great Dao Pill. Although Chen Mobai was somewhat impatient, he still politely expressed his gratitude to Yuan Zhen before taking the items.

"This cauldron is our sect's fifth-tier magical artifact, the North Profound Void Peril Cauldron. It can barely store some immortal spiritual energy, slowing its dissipation…"

Yuan Zhen began to explain, also informing him how to open the cauldron lid. Chen Mobai saw that the Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect used fifth-tier magical artifacts for transport, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the Five Elements Sect's foundation was still not deep enough; they needed to learn and catch up.

At this moment, Qing Nü also took the jade slip containing the Great Dao Pill formula and closed her eyes to study it. Chen Mobai approached the North Profound Void Peril Cauldron and used the secret method Yuan Zhen had told him to sense the cauldron spirit. Feeling his God Transformation aura, the cauldron spirit was very docile and cooperatively opened the lid slightly. The artifact spirits in the Celestial River Realm tended to prioritize cultivation over material possessions. If you were strong enough, the artifact spirit would actively attach itself and acknowledge you as its master. And Chen Mobai was currently at the pinnacle of cultivation in this realm; even a sixth-tier artifact spirit would show respect to a God Transformation cultivator.

After it opened, a large surge of dense and pure Nine Heavens Clear Qi overflowed from the gap between the lid and the cauldron body. Its quality was several times higher than what his second primordial spirit had condensed in the Ninth Heaven. But this was already degraded immortal spiritual energy. Chen Mobai, with an expectant expression, activated his Myriad Sword Dharma Body. Soon, the Dharma Body, which had been empty for a long time, completely absorbed the large surge of pure Nine Heavens Clear Qi into itself. Within it, a transparent wisp, shimmering with crystalline luster, yet heavier than all the Nine Heavens Clear Qi combined, a "qi," was discovered by Chen Mobai using the Sound of the Empty Valley. He immediately extended his hand and gripped this wisp of qi in his palm, realizing that even with his level of cultivation, he found it somewhat difficult to grasp.

"Is this the immortal spiritual energy?" Chen Mobai asked, and Yuan Zhen nodded.

The Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect had a secret method that allowed cultivators who refined Dao Fruits to directly refine immortal spiritual energy, but this involved fundamental principles and certainly could not be revealed to Chen Mobai.

"It's quite peculiar. Immortal spiritual energy seems to encompass everything, capable of evolving into any innate spiritual energy a cultivator might need!"

As a cultivator from the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai possessed a mindset of wanting to thoroughly research anything unknown. This immortal spiritual energy was similar to innate turbid Yin qi but even more advanced because innate turbid Yin qi was opposite to Nine Heavens Clear Qi. They were the two types of qi, clear and turbid, at the time of creation. And this immortal spiritual energy, in his perception, could not only degrade into Nine Heavens Clear Qi but also into innate turbid Yin qi. This meant that the origin of this qi predated the heavens and earth! Knowledge in this area was a blind spot for Chen Mobai. After all, in the Immortal Sect, the highest cultivated individual throughout history was Bai Guang, but even she couldn't create heaven and earth. However, taking it back for Yuan Xu and others to research might lead to some discoveries based on the Immortal Sect's system. After all, the previous research on innate turbid Yin qi had been quite successful, leaving Chen Mobai very satisfied.

"Although this Great Dao Pill formula is simple, it clearly outlines the main framework for refining it. The senior cultivators were indeed very powerful."

At this moment, Qing Nü opened her eyes, put down the jade slip in her hand, and expressed her admiration. The most crucial part of the Great Dao Pill formula was the main ingredient. For instance, if refining it primarily with white dragon essence blood, then matching auxiliary ingredients would be needed to complement it. This meant that each Great Dao Pill formula had to be adjusted according to its main ingredient. Those capable of doing this, even in the ancient Celestial River Realm, were top-tier alchemists. As time passed, the level of alchemists continuously declined. So, to prevent later disciples from being unable to refine pills that aid God Transformation, and to conserve precious main ingredients, some attempted to standardize the formulas. The efficacy would naturally be slightly weaker, but this allowed for more pills to be refined in one batch. Heavenly Spirit Pills, Sage-Through True Spirit Pills, and the like, originated from this. After reading it, Qing Nü quickly understood the true essence of the Great Dao Pill formula. Combined with the various materials she had already analyzed using Myriad Transformations Underworld Union, she had already completed about 70-80% of the restoration of these two formulas in her mind. The rest would be continuous experimentation. After listening to Qing Nü, Chen Mobai also had a plan in mind.

"True Monarch, then I shall take my leave. Once you've finished refining the immortal spiritual energy in the cauldron, you can send me a message, and I'll deliver more using the Azure Mirage Bottle…"

Seeing Chen Mobai and Qing Nü communicating via voice transmission, Yuan Zhen felt an inexplicable irritation and somewhat wished to leave the Eastern Barrens.

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for Saintess Yuan?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai once again marveled at the holy land's wealth; simply to transport immortal spiritual energy to him, they had prepared two fifth-tier magical artifacts. However, this rotation meant his cultivation wouldn't be delayed. It showed how thoughtful the Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect was.

"True Monarch saved my life. Even if I spent my entire life transporting immortal spiritual energy back and forth between the two realms, I still wouldn't be able to repay the debt…" Yuan Zhen, however, said this with a solemn expression.

The Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect had sent so many grand gifts that Chen Mobai's favor seemed repaid. Yet, she felt that her personal debt remained unsettled.

"Saintess Yuan, please don't think that way. If you hadn't intervened back then, my Five Elements Sect might have suffered heavy losses fighting against Immortal Ice Cloud. Friends helping each other is only natural."

Chen Mobai, however, felt that he and the Nine Heavens Demonic Extermination Sect were even. His action to save Yuan Zhen was also a good karma from the past. Yuan Zhen heard this and did not retort, merely smiling faintly, having decided in her heart to forever remember this favor.

"I'll see you off. Coincidentally, I also have something to do and need to make a trip to Five Emperors Mountain."

Chen Mobai said. The reason he had delayed for so long in Beiyuan City was precisely to wait for the immortal spiritual energy. Now that Yuan Zhen had delivered the items, he could also handle the last matter here in the Celestial River Realm. After that, it would be time to return to the Immortal Sect.

"Oh, is True Monarch going to flatten Five Emperors Mountain?"

Yuan Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard Chen Mobai's words. She knew that the Five Elements Sect and the One Yuan Dao Palace had virtually no relationship, and they had even almost come to blows in the Eastern Lands back then. It was only through the intervention of Ni Yuanzhong and Shen Xi, coupled with Earth Virtue enduring humiliation for the sake of God Transformation, that an agreement was barely reached. Now that Chen Mobai had achieved God Transformation, according to the education she received since childhood, it was time to eradicate the One Yuan Dao Palace as an opponent.

"Heaven possesses the virtue of cherishing life. If Earth Virtue is willing to humble himself again, I am willing to grant him a path to survival."

Chen Mobai shook his head. His main purpose in going to Five Emperors Mountain this time was to support Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli, putting them back in their rightful positions. And to take away the Primordial Bell along the way. If Earth Virtue dared to express opposition during this process, Chen Mobai wouldn't mind letting him experience the God Transformation might of the main lineage's Sect Master.

"Indeed, a supreme treasure like the Primordial Bell should rightfully belong to a virtuous person like True Monarch."

Yuan Zhen was slightly disappointed upon hearing this. She had originally thought that if Chen Mobai were to act, she could offer assistance, and they could fight alongside each other for a while.

"My two junior nephews and Elder Su have also arrived. Let's go together."

At this moment, Chen Mobai saw three streams of Primordial spiritual light land outside the main hall and walked out with Yuan Zhen, smiling. In the future, with Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli controlling the One Yuan Dao Palace internally and externally, Su Zilu would be responsible for liaising with them. It was convenient that they all originated from the One Yuan Dao Palace and were very familiar with the operations of this holy land.

The group of five quickly passed through the large teleportation array and arrived at Nine Heavens Immortal City. Chen Mobai politely declined Yuan Zhen's invitation to go to the top floor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Tower, and instead took Su Zilu and the two others directly to One Yuan Immortal City via transfer.

"Welcome, Sect Master!"

The moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, Chen Mobai heard Rianshui's full-throated shout. Besides Rianshui, a Nascent Soul cultivator, there were also two thousand cultivators arranged in a square formation, waving various colorful silks, magical artifacts, and so on, making it a lively scene. Chen Mobai's expression became slightly strange when he saw this. To be honest, he hadn't really anticipated this. After all, the One Yuan Dao Palace was ostensibly a holy land in the Eastern Lands, and such fawning reception was somewhat undignified.

"Elder Rianshui, you are too kind!"

But Chen Mobai found it hard to object, as they were, after all, there to welcome him. And to be honest, seeing the One Yuan Dao Palace humble itself in this manner, Chen Mobai felt an inexpressible joy in his heart. From now on, the Five Elements Sect would be the undisputed holy land of the Eastern Continent. And it was the One Yuan Dao Palace that had voluntarily acknowledged and recognized the Five Elements Sect as the main lineage.

In One Yuan Immortal City, besides the cultivators of One Yuan Dao Palace, there were also shops from other major forces in the Eastern Lands, as it was one of the seven great immortal cities of the Eastern Lands. Upon witnessing this scene, these cultivators felt that One Yuan Dao Palace was somewhat disrespectful towards Chen Mobai, a God Transformation True Monarch. Because only Rianshui, an outer sect Nascent Soul Elder, was present, theoretically, those on Five Emperors Mountain should have also come down, or even gone to Nine Heavens Immortal City in advance to greet him. Chen Mobai, however, didn't pay attention to this. He wasn't someone who cared much for appearances; gaining tangible benefits was the real priority.

"Elder Rianshui, come up with me and be a witness."

Chen Mobai extended the invitation. He clearly understood that Rianshui's actions were an attempt to surrender, even willing to give up his position as an elder of One Yuan Dao Palace. He responded in kind, and Rianshui immediately nodded, indicating his willingness to lead the way for the Sect Master. Chen Mobai smiled faintly, glanced at Five Emperors Mountain in the distance, and with a gentle flick of his sleeve, he controlled the Grand Unity Five Smoke Robe, bringing everyone before the mountain gate.

The mountain gate was open, and Earth Virtue and Wood Virtue stood together, waiting. Upon seeing Chen Mobai descend from the sky with his entourage, which included Rianshui, Wood Virtue's expression subtly changed. Earth Virtue, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed, respectfully bowing and saluting: "Greetings, Sect Master True Monarch. We apologize for not coming out to meet you."

After landing, Chen Mobai used his Heaven-Connecting Blessing and Earth-Responding Spirit realms to sense the sixth-tier grand formation of Five Emperors Mountain, and couldn't help but nod slightly. With his cultivation, facing a sixth-tier grand formation, he could only barely discern its flaws and then enter and exit using the Void遁甲 technique. However, for him, the Five Emperors Mountain's most intimidating defense, the Primordial Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder, was of no use. After all, having refined the Primordial Orb, he could transform all the Primordial Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunders within the earth veins into their most primordial five-element spiritual energy before Earth Virtue could even activate them.

"Shouldn't Senior Brother Earth Virtue be competing with Xing Ji in the Eastern Mausoleum Region? How do you have time to come back?" Chen Mobai feigned surprise and asked, seeing Earth Virtue.

Earth Virtue: "The Sect Master's arrival is a matter of utmost importance; everything else is insignificant."

Wood Virtue and Rianshui heard this and would have almost believed it, had they not known that Water Virtue had been dispatched to the Eastern Mausoleum Region.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Earth Virtue's abilities are somewhat wasted on controlling the One Yuan Dao Palace." Chen Mobai, however, said this with a hearty laugh.

"I merely took the helm for a while when the sect was in turmoil. If Senior Brother Wuming and the Palace Master were still here, I would much rather cultivate in seclusion in the mountains."

After Earth Virtue finished speaking, Chen Mobai merely smiled faintly and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"That's perfect. I believe Nephew Chen and Niece Xiao are already capable of great responsibilities. How about appointing them as the new generation's Dao Palace Grand Elder and Palace Master?"

The moment Chen Mobai said this, Earth Virtue and the other two instantly froze.

"The Sect Master's decision is final!"

After a long while, Earth Virtue sighed and lowered his head.
