With you as the leader of the righteous path in Dongzhou, it truly puts one's mind at ease.
True Monarch Wuchen listened to Chen Mobai's words, a look of gratification on his face.
Next, True Monarch Wuchen symbolically inspected King Zhao's grand tomb. After destroying all the murals related to the "Six Dragons Heavenly Ride Scripture," he pointed to the still-intact corpse and asked Chen Mobai how he wished to deal with it.
"To be frank, the foundation of my Five Elements Sect is still somewhat shallow compared to your three families. While I am here, there's no need to worry, but I will ascend someday. So, before that, I want to leave some trump cards of fifth-order power for the sect. This golden-armored corpse is already close to advancing into a fourth-order jade corpse and can be used to refine a Golden Armored Heavenly God..."
Facing True Monarch Wuchen, Chen Mobai frankly stated his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Wuchen, who knew the truth behind the Six Ding Six Jia Puppet Art of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court, showed a slight hesitation on his face.
However, he eventually gave Chen Mobai face and nodded.
"As for puppet arts, there's certainly no problem." The unspoken meaning behind this statement was that the methods of the Corpse Dissolution Demonic Sect were not permissible. After all, if this golden-armored corpse were refined in any yin-shrouded area, it could advance and possess Nascent Soul-level combat power, which would be a decent trump card even for a Holy Land.
However, if the golden-armored corpse was used as raw material to refine it into a puppet, that would be a righteous method.
Chen Mobai understood True Monarch Wuchen's implication and promised that it would definitely be used to create a puppet.
Following this, the two God Transformation cultivators simultaneously acted, completely destroying the grand tomb, turning it into ruins to ensure no one would find demonic cultivation techniques there.
Afterward, True Monarch Wuchen stayed in the Eastern Wilderness for some time to ensure the stability of the dragon vein's spiritual essence.
Chen Mobai naturally accompanied him, taking the opportunity to inquire more about the Spirit Void Immortal Realm.
"Young friend, in three hundred years, the heavens and earth will undergo a great change, and Void Refinement cultivators will be able to descend and remain. However, for people like us, it would be best to ascend and depart within those three hundred years..." True Monarch Wuchen, owing to a favor from Zhuo Ming, uncharacteristically spoke some heartfelt words to Chen Mobai.
Once the Heavenly River Realm's cultivation limit is raised to Void Refinement, the top cultivators at that time will certainly not be the same as the original top cultivators of the Heavenly River Realm, even if they can break through to Void Refinement at any moment.
Because there are also differences between Void Refinement cultivators.
A cultivator who has just entered the Void Refinement stage, when facing a peak Void Refinement cultivator who is close to Dao Integration, might be suppressed and killed in an instant.
Therefore, for True Monarch Wuchen, his greatest wish currently is to reach Void Refinement within three hundred years, and then ascend and leave the Heavenly River Realm, which is destined to become a battlefield, before the great change in heaven and earth.
"In that case, if the sect and its disciples encounter a powerful enemy without our protection, wouldn't they be in danger?" Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, thought of this point and couldn't help but frown.
"Young friend, the sect should indeed be taken to heart, but if disciples need us to support them all the way, then such disciples are not worth having."
"Disciples have their own destinies. What we need to do is preserve ourselves. A Void Refinement cultivator ascending to the immortal realm is more important to the sect than dozens of God Transformation disciples. After all, a further step beyond Void Refinement is a Dao Integration True Immortal, an eternal and immortal life form, capable of protecting the sect through the ages."
"Moreover, when the great change in heaven and earth occurs, the patriarchs from the upper realm will also find ways to descend. With them present, we don't need to worry about the sect's safety."
True Monarch Wuchen's words made Chen Mobai look envious.
The other three great Holy Lands in Dongzhou are powerful and have vast enterprises, even possessing Dao Integration patriarchs in the upper realm, and many Void Refinement cultivators. However, the Five Elements Sect only has True Monarch Yiyuan, an ascender, in the immortal realm.
Although Chen Mobai had always said he inherited the legacy of the Longevity Sect, and it was true, he would not consider the Heavenly Venerate to be the patriarch of the Five Elements Sect.
Furthermore, it's possible that True Monarch Yiyuan wouldn't even recognize him after he ascends.
He just wondered if True King Taixu would recognize him as a fellow student.
After all, he was the final disciple of Dao Sovereign Zixiao, and True King Taixu was Dao Sovereign Zixiao's magical artifact. Theoretically, they were of the same generation.
If True King Taixu found it inappropriate, Chen Mobai would be willing to make a concession and acknowledge him as an elder.
"Now is the most critical time. Although young friend, your combat power is unparalleled, and you possess the Primordial Chaos Bell, there's no guarantee that some peak God Transformation cultivators might not risk ascension just to suppress and kill you. Therefore, for the time being, it's better for our Dongzhou Immortal Alliance to keep a low profile." True Monarch Wuchen spoke from the heart.
Chen Mobai's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
In Dongzhou, he was already an invincible existence, needless to say.
However, in other continents and oceans, there were still many existences capable of ascending, similar to True Monarch Suiyu.
Although Chen Mobai didn't feel any life-or-death pressure when fighting True Monarch Suiyu previously, that was because True Monarch Suiyu was poor and lacked a sixth-order magical artifact.
If it were someone like the Three Immortals and Two Swords who would risk ascension, Chen Mobai might not necessarily be able to suppress them.
After all, his current cultivation was only late God Transformation.
He still needed to improve further, ideally to possess the strength to enter Void Refinement at any time.
In that case, he could truly walk unhindered in the current Heavenly River Realm.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Chen Mobai thanked True Monarch Wuchen, which was also in line with his personality; he felt insecure unless he was invincible in the world.
It was precisely for this reason that he couldn't even be bothered to attend the Saint Dao Convention back then.
"Just in time, the Dongzhou Immortal Alliance has been established. I plan to leverage the alliance's power to collect some precious medicinal ingredients and refine Immortality Pills..." True Monarch Wuchen then spoke of his own plans.
He had broken through to late God Transformation with the help of the Three Profound Jade Dragon Pill. With the Moral Sect's foundation, reaching perfected God Transformation was only a matter of time, so he intended to prepare for his Void Refinement breakthrough.
The Immortality Pill, on the other hand, was a sixth-order elixir used in Dongzhou to aid breakthroughs.
The difference between the Immortality Pill and the Suspended Void Pill was that the former, after consumption, could allow a cultivator to achieve the perfected fifth-order body-forging realm. If adequately prepared and with abundant vital energy, one could even use the Immortality Pill to directly reach the sixth-order "regeneration from a drop of blood" realm.
The formula for the Immortality Pill was originally in the hands of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court, but it had always been refined by the God Transformation True Monarchs of the Moral Sect throughout generations. Therefore, True Monarch Wuchen had already thoroughly comprehended it; all that was left was gathering materials and refining it.
If he could refine this, True Monarch Wuchen would have more confidence in his Void Refinement breakthrough.
However, the materials required for the Immortality Pill were exceedingly precious, with many supplementary ingredients being fifth-order. The Moral Sect alone couldn't gather them all, so it required mobilizing the entire Dongzhou Immortal Alliance.
"Since senior has such aspirations, I will certainly help, but the most crucial part is still the main ingredient..." After listening, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that he would use the Five Elements Sect's influence.
However, apart from the Holy Lands, the other Nascent Soul forces in the Dongzhou Immortal Alliance likely only had a foundation of some fifth-order medicinal ingredients at most.
The sixth-order main ingredients were the most difficult to collect.
"I've already entrusted this matter to the Taixu Misty Palace, and combining it with what my sect cultivates in its own medicinal fields, we should be able to gather most of it. If the remaining few ingredients cannot be found across the Five Continents and Four Seas, then we'll just have to wait for the patriarchs from the upper realm to descend and bring them down for us." True Monarch Wuchen revealed the full situation.
Chen Mobai sighed with emotion, "This is the advantage of having connections in the upper realm; it's truly wonderful."
"Actually, if the Duguan Wilds were willing, we could gather them immediately. However, Clan Leader Feng Qingshu is confident she can reach Void Refinement at any time and has no interest in the Immortality Pill, so she refused," True Monarch Wuchen said with some regret.
The Duguan Wilds in Southern Province is the largest medicinal field in the Heavenly River Realm. Coupled with the Phoenix Clan's continuous collection and cultivation of spiritual plants from all over the Five Continents and Four Seas for tens of thousands of years, virtually any required medicinal ingredient can be found there.
Last time, when Feng Qingshu came to help Shoumei advance, True Monarch Wuchen brought this up, but she directly refused.
"How many pills can one batch of Immortality Pills yield?" Chen Mobai asked the most crucial question.
"That's hard to say. After all, I haven't refined it myself, and there's even a chance of failure..." True Monarch Wuchen shook his head, unwilling to make any guarantees regarding this matter.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's heart sank halfway. According to the customs here, even if it were successfully refined, there would likely only be a few pills, and they would contain pill toxins.
And such elixirs, no matter how much their pill toxins exceeded the limit, True Monarch Wuchen and others would still grit their teeth and consume them.
Chen Mobai had originally thought about whether he could get a share of one pill, but from True Monarch Wuchen's tone, it was clear that there was little hope.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't bother with it anymore; he would just let Chen Lingming cooperate with the Moral Sect.
Chen Mobai's interest instantly waned for something that offered him no personal benefit. However, the Immortality Pill also reminded him that his Dan Ding Sect also had the inherited Living Blood Refinement Pill, which had similar effects.
Once Qing Nü reached God Transformation, he could begin preparing to refine the sixth-order Living Blood Refinement Pill.
If he was truly lucky and succeeded in refining it, should he package it and claim it was passed down by the Heavenly Venerate?
The dragon vein's spiritual essence took a full six months to manifest.
True Monarch Wuchen departed after staying for a month. By then, it had largely stabilized, and in his view, failure was virtually impossible.
Another six months passed, and Jiang Zongheng successfully formed his Nascent Soul in the capital of Zhao Kingdom. However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Chen Mobai used a spell to instantly teleport him to his disciple's loquat valley cave dwelling in Jian Commandery before triggering the heavenly tribulation.
A mere Nascent Soul heavenly tribulation was, of course, easily overcome.
"Thank you, Master, for protecting me."
After overcoming the heavenly tribulation, Jiang Zongheng landed before Chen Mobai and respectfully bowed.
"No need for such courtesy. What made you think of forming your Nascent Soul in the capital of Zhao Kingdom?" Chen Mobai motioned for Jiang Zongheng to rise, then sat down in the loquat valley and asked.
"Reporting to Master, your disciple had always felt a lack of opportunity for Nascent Soul formation, unable to grasp it. One day, during closed-door cultivation, I suddenly heard a dragon's roar calling from deep within the earth. Following my instincts, I went there, and unexpectedly, I encountered the dragon vein gaining sentience, giving birth to Nascent Soul spiritual essence..."
Jiang Zongheng replied. His Nascent Soul formation this time was very sudden; he himself hadn't made any preparations.
It was simply a sudden inspiration, leading him to revisit his old stomping grounds in Zhao Kingdom.
And when he arrived there, the dragon vein had also reached full accumulation, and its spiritual essence had fully matured.
"It seems you truly have a predestined connection with the Heavenly Emperor Scroll."
After listening, Chen Mobai also sensed the mysterious power of destiny.
Thinking about the Heavenly Emperor controlling the Dao of Destiny, he felt even more that the Heavenly Emperor Scroll falling into Jiang Zongheng's hands might have been fated long before the Eastern Earth Imperial Court disintegrated.
However, this could also be a casual move by the Heavenly Emperor, as it was well-known that this person wished to transcend and depart. The Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace had cultivated countless cultivators who ascended by practicing the "Six Dragons Heavenly Ride Scripture" precisely to select a successor capable of bearing the Heavenly Emperor's position.
"Your disciple only knows that the Heavenly Emperor Scroll was bestowed by Master," Jiang Zongheng said with a solemn expression.
"Cultivate well. I originally planned for you to switch cultivation paths after forming your Nascent Soul, but I didn't expect that during your Nascent Soul formation, you would already lay the foundation for the Heavenly Emperor Scroll with the help of the dragon vein's spirit. I hope that after I ascend in the future, you can inherit my great ambition and fulfill the grand vision of the Five Elements Sect."
Chen Mobai checked Jiang Zongheng's condition after forming his Nascent Soul. His current substantial cultivation realm was still the Longevity Scripture, but he had already established a Dragon Spiritual Root. Next would be the gradual transformation into the "Six Dragons Heavenly Ride Scripture," cultivating the Human Emperor's Treasured Body and the Six Dragon Avatars.
"These are the six dragon essence bloods. Refine them one by one after your Human Emperor's Treasured Body is complete."
Chen Mobai then handed the already prepared essence blood to Jiang Zongheng. Some of these were not complete true spirit blood, but for the current Jiang Zongheng, secondary essence blood like that of the colorful python was already sufficient.
Next, Chen Mobai also imparted the Dragon Transformation Scripture.
This was the original cultivation method he had directly obtained from the Zhongli family, acquiring the legal right to teach it, so he could directly pass it on to his disciple.
"Such a profound cultivation method actually exists in this world!"
After experiencing the Dragon Transformation Scripture, Jiang Zongheng couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
"This was created by a senior named Zhongli. If you succeed in your cultivation and become the Heavenly Emperor of the human realm in the future, remember to erect a memorial tablet for him." Chen Mobai's words made Jiang Zongheng nod heavily.
After guiding his disciple, Chen Mobai took out King Zhao's corpse and explained the relevant matters.
Jiang Zongheng had been in seclusion for his breakthrough and knew nothing of this; upon hearing it, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
"Since you've just formed your Nascent Soul, first take responsibility for clearing out demonic cultivators within the sect's territory. The Pure Bamboo also needs to be planted quickly at various spiritual vein hubs. The cultivation methods of the Avatar Demonic Sect are insidious, and currently, this is the only clumsy method we have. As for this corpse, go discuss it with Senior Brother Fu and see if it can be refined into a fifth-order Golden Armored Heavenly God..."
After giving his instructions, Chen Mobai remembered someone he knew who practiced the Avatar Demonic Sect's cultivation method.
Du Mengyun, into whom he had previously planted a Primordial Demonic Talisman.
He wondered what her situation was now, along with Honghe.
The body Du Mengyun occupied was Sun Huangling of the Sun family.
After she and Honghe revealed their true nature to Chen Mobai, they voluntarily left the Eastern Wilderness and went to develop in Yaoguang Immortal City in the Barren Ruins. Currently, she was the de facto head of the Sun family.
Chen Mobai planned to seek her out to understand the Avatar Demonic Arts and see if there was a more efficient way to decipher and detect them than using Pure Bamboo.
