Chapter 1139: Ten-Year Great War

"Young friend, I'll set up a special teleportation array for you both inside and outside the Boundary Stone, so you can enter and exit through it."

Before leaving, True Monarch Dakong, realizing Chen Mobai didn't possess his Void Escapism Art, kindly stayed behind to help.

Chen Mobai naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Seeing this, Shen Xi and Ni Yuanzhong didn't ask Chen Mobai to see them off; instead, they made their own way to Mirror Immortal City.

True Monarch Dakong stayed not only to help arrange the teleportation array but also to discuss matters related to the Dragon Abyss Cavern.

"My puppet explored deep within the Underworld and discovered a strange place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. I believe there might be clues to the Ascension Platform there..."

True Monarch Dakong was the oldest among the Divine Soul cultivators in East Continent, so neither the threat from the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court nor the Tier 6 treasure ships were as important to him as the Ascension Platform.

"Oh, senior, are you suggesting we also send our puppets there to investigate?" Chen Mobai asked. True Monarch Dakong nodded.

"First, we'll continue trying with puppets, but that place contains very strange natural restrictions, and possibly even powers of ghosts and gods unknown to me. The puppets can only hover at the edges and cannot enter..."

True Monarch Dakong's words carried a hint of eager anticipation.

His Void Secret Arts excelled at entering and exiting places shrouded by various restrictions, such as the Boundary Stone they were currently at, or the Dragon Abyss Cavern that once connected the mortal realm and the Underworld.

If he were to go in person, he was confident he could easily enter, no matter what kind of restrictive barrier it was.

However, his last experience entering the Underworld was too profound. True Monarch Dakong was deeply afraid of being hunted by ghosts again, so he remained very calm for now.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai knew from his words that True Monarch Dakong had definitely considered this possibility.

"Once the situation stabilizes here in East Continent, we can call on Wuchen and consider exploring the Underworld near the Dragon Abyss Cavern."

As expected, True Monarch Dakong uttered these words.

"No problem, no problem. If I have time then, I'll come over."

Chen Mobai didn't agree immediately. After all, his personal principle was not to stand beneath a crumbling wall and not to act recklessly.

He still had over three thousand years of lifespan; there was truly no need for him to venture into the Underworld in search of the Ascension Platform.

"Young friend, if the war here becomes urgent, you can call for me. It's convenient for me to come."

Before True Monarch Dakong left, he said this, then transformed into a silver light and vanished from the spot.

Chen Mobai listened to the void fluctuations around him with a profound stillness, then swept his powerful divine sense across the entire East Yi again. Only after confirming that all Divine Soul cultivators had departed did he finally relax.

He first tested True Monarch Dakong's teleportation array, confirmed it was working, then used his own Void Escapism Art to enter the Boundary Stone.

With a slight lift of his right hand, the Hunyuan Bell settled into his palm.

"If all these materials are for you to refine, will it be enough for you to advance to Tier 6 High-grade?"

Chen Mobai pointed to the scrap treasure ships piled around the shipyard within the miniature world.

"Hmm, there's actually so much essence of five metals here, but it's a pity they've all lost their spiritual essence..."

The spirit of the Hunyuan Bell appeared, swayed as it circled the shipyard, then landed in the center of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, which was broken into three sections, with a look of regret.

"Only the materials from this ship are useful to me. The rest combined probably aren't even as good as that bag of Lihuo Divine Sand."

When Chen Mobai and True Monarch Dakong had conversed on the coastal battlefield earlier, the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell had also overheard them. For it, Tier 6 spiritual materials were the most useful. Although it could convert these scrap treasure ships into Five Elements spiritual energy, it would take a lot of time.

Currently, with the Five Elements Sect and the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court engaged in a major war in East Yi, efficiency was definitely paramount.

Next, the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell estimated the materials it needed for advancement: this bag of Lihuo Divine Sand, plus the Tier 6 Azure Yuan Crystal, and the wreckage of this Tier 6 treasure ship. If it then assimilated and refined the Five Emperors Mountain spiritual vein, it would barely be enough.

"If this spiritual vein were added, it would definitely be a sure bet."

The spirit of the Hunyuan Bell pointed to the Frightened Mountain outside. This too was a Tier 6 spiritual vein, but most of its spiritual energy was absorbed by the Boundary Stone to sustain this miniature world.

"I plan to use this spiritual vein as a cultivation sanctuary for the Five Elements Sect's future Divine Soul cultivators..."

Chen Mobai, however, shook his head, dismissing the Hunyuan Bell spirit's idea.

"Then we might need one more Tier 6 spiritual material."

The spirit of the Hunyuan Bell knew that it only had one chance to advance. If it failed with so many resources, there wouldn't be a second Five Emperors Mountain for it to assimilate next time, so it also wanted to ensure stability.

"How about this Boundary Stone we're currently in?"

Chen Mobai then proposed something that made the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell pause in its tracks.

This Boundary Stone was a crystallization of Void Stone, containing the purest and most immense void power. According to the scale of the stele, it was the top-tier Tier 6 peak spiritual material in this realm, even possessing some characteristics of Tier 7.

It contained some Void Dao essence.

"It's good, but it doesn't quite match my attributes. I might not be able to digest it..."

The spirit of the Hunyuan Bell spoke frankly. The grade of this Boundary Stone was a bit too high for it to refine.

However, the Hunyuan Pearl possessed the power to refine void into the Five Elements. If Chen Mobai assisted, theoretically, it really was possible to refine it.

Upon thinking of this, the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell's gaze towards this miniature world also grew fervent.

"Let me tell you my thoughts. For you, Tier 6 High-grade might be a lifelong ultimate dream, but I believe this is just the beginning."

"The One-Yuan Dao Scripture records the method for refining the Tier 7 Hunyuan Golden Dou, which involves fusing the powers of the Four Great Daos: Five Elements, Hunyuan, Void, and Doomsday. Among these, you already possess the power of the Five Elements and Hunyuan Daos. If you then refine this Boundary Stone and attempt to fuse the Void Dao essence, then only Doomsday will be missing."

"And it just so happens that recently, when I slew the Bone Law King, I comprehended the principle of the end of life and the demise of all things, and have already condensed a trace of Doomsday power. This can also be refined into you during this advancement."

"This way, it will lay the foundation for you to advance into the Hunyuan Golden Dou."

"I believe your limit should be Tier 7!"

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell was already boiling with excitement.

Because that was indeed the case.

"Master, your talent in artifact refining surpasses even the old master!"

This remark from the spirit of the Hunyuan Bell made Chen Mobai shake his head repeatedly, stating that he was merely standing on the shoulders of True Monarch One-Yuan.

After all, this method for the Hunyuan Golden Dou was also left behind by True Monarch One-Yuan.

If it could truly be forged, then the Five Elements Sect would, like the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, the Eternal Brush and Ink Grove, and the Heavenly Sea Jellyfish Palace, possess a Tier 7 Dao-achieving treasure to suppress its fortunes, and would not have to worry even during a great tribulation of heaven and earth.

After reaching an agreement, the Hunyuan Bell first swallowed the bag of Lihuo Divine Sand and returned to Chen Mobai's domain, slowly refining this precious Tier 6 spiritual material.

If the Boundary Stone were refined, this miniature world would certainly cease to exist. Therefore, before that, Chen Mobai needed to send people to retrieve its contents.

Many of these scrap treasure ships were actually almost repaired, only lacking their power furnaces.

Chen Mobai, relying on his artifact refining prowess and the power of the Five Tones of Law, easily deciphered the blueprints from over three thousand jade slips. He then summoned Sheng Zhaoxi, Chen Lingming, and other Tier 4 artifact refiners from the One-Yuan Dao Palace.

Chen Mobai selected some key content, taught several lessons, and finally assigned tasks according to the learning progress.

Sheng Zhaoxi understood the least, so she was tasked with directing the Five Elements Sect disciples to find a new shipyard, relocate these treasure ships, and manage the manual labor for their repair.

Chen Lingming, who performed the best, received the task of repairing Tier 1 to Tier 4 power furnaces. He was the only one who could understand this part of the lesson.

The others, Yanhua and Xuanhui, were slightly better than Sheng Zhaoxi, but still struggled greatly.

"This matter will be led by Disciple-Nephew Chen. If it can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement for generations to come."

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Chen Lingming nodded with a serious expression, indicating that he would surely live up to the Sect Master's trust.

Half a month later, Xuande of the Daoist Sect personally arrived at Frightened Mountain and handed a jade box to Chen Mobai.

Inside was precisely the Tier 6 Azure Yuan Crystal. Additionally, Xuande brought a group of Daoist Sect cultivators, ready to be stationed long-term in East Yi to support the war between the Five Elements Sect and the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court.

Although Shen Xi appeared gentle, he acted with swift decisiveness.

After Xuande's arrival, the major righteous factions of East Continent were also successively dispatched by Shen Xi, using the Sacred Land Edict, to send a tenth of their cultivators to the East Yi battlefield.

Within just half a year, the number of East Continent cultivators gathered in East Yi was no less than the number of cultivators in the East Mausoleum Region during the initial development phase.

Chen Mobai also felt pressure from this.

Fortunately, the Sacred Lands of East Continent helped each other. Besides the Daoist Sect, the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect and the Grand Void Ethereal Palace also dispatched large armies of cultivators to help share the heavy burden.

The leaders of these Sacred Lands were all very familiar to Chen Mobai: Yuan Zhen of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect and Zhang Pankong of the Grand Void Ethereal Palace.

An army of over a million cultivators and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators stationed along the coastline, relying on the Sky Veil Earth Net Grand Array, firmly blocked the Black Sea demonic beast army in the ocean.

This also made Chen Mobai marvel at the profound heritage of the Sky River Realm. East Continent alone possessed strength comparable to an Immortal Sect.

The war dragged on, and ten years passed quickly.

Chen Mobai personally oversaw Frightened Mountain. Since the territory of the Sun-Bathing Sea vanished, this place had become the front line.

The old Flood Dragon also had a tacit understanding; whenever it emerged from the sea, it would be outside Frightened Mountain.

These two top existences in the Sky River Realm clashed dozens of times over these ten years, causing the heavens and earth to change color and mountains and seas to tremble.

If not for the protection of the Sky Veil Earth Net Grand Array, East Yi would probably have already turned into ruins from the aftermath of their battles.

During their clashes, the old Flood Dragon actually made progress. It seemed that having a powerful opponent made its true spirit bloodline more active.

However, Chen Mobai's progress was even faster. Not only did he master the One-Yuan Incarnation to perfection, but he also used it to comprehend the Hunyuan Dao.
