Chapter 1354: Sea Eye Resonance, Primordial Origin

The ruins of the Profound Sea Dragon Palace.

After Zhuo Ming's transformation, the original resplendent glory had been replaced by a simple underwater grotto, but the most crucial sixth-tier spiritual vein had been integrated into the Grand Array of Heavenly Canopy and Earth Veins.

However, the power of the Sea Eye was mysterious, and only the Dragon Palace's original Innate Water Element Grand Array could absorb and control it.

But this did not pose a challenge to Chen Mobai, a grandmaster of formations. He was able to indirectly utilize the Sea Eye by drawing its power through the Innate Water Element Grand Array and then transforming the innate water essence into a component of the Earth Vein Grand Array.

After returning with Qing Nü, Chen Mobai first halted the operation of the Primordial Bell, which was refining the remains of the Ancestral Black Dragon, to avoid causing fluctuations in the Sea Eye.

Ling Zun was also amazed upon learning about the energy of the Primordial Spiritual Vein. She had never imagined such a resource existed on Diyuan Star.

"Previously, when we fought against the Divine Sect, and they shattered the Fetal Transformation Furnace in a desperate act, I sensed that the essence of the earth flowing out was of a very high grade, possibly equivalent to a seventh-tier spiritual vein."

"Finally, to prevent Diyuan Star from entering an age of declining magic, we had Changchun plant the Great Toon Divine Tree, which sealed the planetary void left by the shattered Fetal Transformation Furnace and, in doing so, laid the foundation for the Immortal Sect."

"Now that I think about it, for the Great Toon to be able to advance to the sixth-tier in an environment as spiritually barren as Diyuan Star, it must be extraordinary..."

Ling Zun's words reminded Chen Mobai of an agreement he had with the spirit of the Great Toon.

It seemed he would have to return to the Immortal Sect after reaching the Void Refinement stage.

While making a glorious return home, he would also visit his family and friends, and take the opportunity to deal with the remaining lingering connections on him.

Benefitting from Bai Guang and Ling Zun's experience, Chen Mobai knew that it was best to leave some threads when reaching the Void Refinement stage, to serve as anchors for his return after stepping onto the Great Dao.

"My dear husband, I am ready."

At this moment, Qing Nü spoke. She offered up her twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls, which combined with the nearby Dragon Palace's Innate Water Element Grand Array, transforming into an azure radiance that enveloped the area around the Sea Eye's opening.

A significant amount of the Abyssal Sea-Stabilizing Pearl's primordial power had already been absorbed. Qing Nü could now employ its unique divine abilities and secret arts through the Sea Stabilizing Pearls and the Innate Water Element Grand Array.

"Good. My dear, take some time to recover and adjust your breath, then begin the refinement. Ling Zun and I will guard you."

Chen Mobai sensed the azure radiance of the Sea Stabilizing Pearls, and after confirming everything was in order, he nodded.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

In the depths of the Profound Sea, the Innate Water Element Grand Array and the brilliance of the Sea Stabilizing Pearls intertwined, forming layers of water curtain that isolated the inside from the outside. Qing Nü sat at the core, her twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls circling her like stars, their azure halo reflecting beautifully on her features.

Chen Mobai and Ling Zun stood before the adjoining medicinal garden grotto. The Primordial Bell hung above their heads, its five-colored light cascading down to suppress the void, preventing the increasingly intense power of the Sea Eye from drawing them in.

Neither of them had expected that refining a wisp of fetal essence would take such a long time, and they were still uncertain if the refinement had been successful.

If it weren't for Qing Nü's increasingly radiant complexion and her Nascent Spirit dharma body growing more vast and profound, Chen Mobai would have long since grown anxious.

Even so, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Because the longer Qing Nü spent refining the fetal essence, the suction force of the originally calm Profound Sea Eye gradually intensified, reaching a point where they now needed to use the Primordial Bell to resist it.

If it became any more intense, Chen Mobai and Ling Zun would have no choice but to retreat into the Dragon Palace Grand Array.

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

Ling Zun saw Chen Mobai's expression and offered words of comfort.

At this very moment, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the Sea Eye. The surrounding seawater was condensed into a dark vortex by a vast power, its center directly aligned with the Sea Eye's opening. From within, mysterious, ethereal blue runes surged forth, containing a supreme Dao charm that even Ling Zun, with her cultivation realm, could not fully comprehend.

Just as Ling Zun exclaimed in surprise, Qing Nü, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly formed a profound hand seal. It seemed as if the last wisp of fetal essence had been refined by her Nascent Spirit. An azure glow shot up from her crown, coalescing into a droplet of crystalline jade dew, like a clear drop of rainwater.

Under the influence of his Heavenly Connection and Earth Spirit affinity, Chen Mobai faintly perceived that the residual Primordial Source Flow within the Sea Eye was resonating with Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit after she had refined the fetal essence, causing it to surge out in response.

After confirming that the ethereal blue Dao charm surging from the Sea Eye was of the same origin as the Primordial Spiritual Vein energy Ye Qing had displayed in the Sky-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda, Chen Mobai suppressed his impulse to use the Primordial Bell to intervene and sever the connection.

This might be Qing Nü's great fortune.

And at this moment, a verdant jade slip suddenly flew out from the storage pouch at Qing Nü's waist.

Under the astonished gazes of Chen Mobai and Ling Zun, Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit dharma body, like a drop of water, landed on the jade slip. Subsequently, the vortex of Primordial Source Flow energy at the Sea Eye's opening, like crashing waves, surged wave after wave onto the jade slip, infusing it with the profound truth of the Great Dao contained within.

"This jade slip actually contains an Innate Great Dao, and it originates from the same source as the Primordial Spiritual Vein within the Sea Eye..."

At this moment, Ling Zun also noticed something, her voice rising as she reminded Chen Mobai.

Besides being a good thing, this could also be a disaster.

Because Qing Nü was merely at the Spirit Transformation stage, after all, and unlike Chen Mobai, who had a profound foundation and cultivated grand techniques like the Pure Yang Scroll to gradually comprehend the Innate Great Dao.

As expected, with the passage of time, a crack appeared in the verdant jade slip into which Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit dharma body had integrated.

This indicated that she was beginning to be unable to bear the profound truth of this Innate Great Dao.

As the crack widened and spread across the entire jade slip, wisps of chaotic mist rose, faintly manifesting a magnificent Great Dao that created heaven and earth and gave birth to myriad things.

During this process, the true profound mystery contained within this immortal jade book began to fully reveal itself.

The vast Profound Sea churned like boiling water. Countless ethereal blue light points surged from the Sea Eye's opening, converging on Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit to form an illusory Dao book, with the four characters "Primordial Source Flow" shining brilliantly.

But at this moment, the original immortal jade slip had completely shattered, turning into fragments scattered across the ground.

Qing Nü let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"This is bad..."

Chen Mobai, seeing this scene, was greatly alarmed. He wanted to intervene and stop the seemingly endless Primordial Source Flow energy surging from the Sea Eye, but was afraid of ruining Qing Nü's rare great opportunity.

Just as he gritted his teeth, preparing to save his wife, the Sea Stabilizing Pearls suddenly hummed in unison. Twenty-four azure light pillars shot up from the Profound Sea bottom, seizing control of the entire Profound Sea in an instant.

Endless water elemental essence was drawn in by the Sea Stabilizing Pearls. Qing Nü's hair bun came undone, and her dark hair fluttered without wind. Her Nascent Spirit dharma body, having absorbed the Dao charm of the Primordial Source Flow, had transformed into the appearance of a verdant jade slip, desiring to descend back into her Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

But at this moment, it was extremely slow.

At the same time, the Primordial Source Flow energy within the Sea Eye continued to surge out, even more fiercely than before.

Clearly, although the Primordial Spiritual Vein had already been extracted by powerful figures like the Heavenly Emperor, what remained was still not something a Spirit Transformation cultivator like Qing Nü could easily control and refine.

The twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls shone with dazzling brilliance, pushing the Innate Water Element Grand Array to its extreme, attempting to prevent the Primordial Source Flow energy from surging out of the Sea Eye.

Upon sensing this, Chen Mobai immediately deployed the Primordial Bell, transferring the control of the Grand Array of Heavenly Canopy and Earth Veins to empower the Innate Water Element Grand Array.

As the formation evolved, streaks of starlight fell from above the Profound Sea. Under the guidance of the Primordial Bell, they combined with the endless water veins, separating the Primordial Source Flow within the Profound Sea Eye from Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit dharma body.

Ling Zun also let out a long cry, activating her Giant Kun avatar, whose fins stirred up ten thousand layers of waves as she moved, assisting Chen Mobai in sealing the Sea Eye's opening.

At the same time, the Sea Stabilizing Sword, sensing that Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit was overwhelmed, emerged and hovered behind her, appearing somewhat at a loss.

For a spirit artifact, without instructions from its master, it truly did not know how to handle such a situation.

"Quickly, commune with Qing Nü and anchor your Nascent Spirit."

Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately recalled his own experience of anchoring his Yuan Yang Sword with the Great Dao of Sage Virtues. He promptly transmitted a message to the Sea Stabilizing Sword's spirit, instructing it to absorb the Primordial Source Flow surging from the Sea Eye together with Qing Nü.

The Sea Stabilizing Sword naturally did not hesitate and actively joined in the communion.

Fortunately, it had already been completely refined by Qing Nü earlier, so it easily integrated into Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit dharma body.

With its assistance in bearing the burden, the Nascent Spirit, which had been struggling to descend, now like a heavy sword, broke through the endless waves of water, and guided Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit back into her Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

After the jade-slip-like Nascent Spirit returned to its aperture, a water-drop-shaped Dao mark appeared on Qing Nü's forehead.

She opened her closed eyes, her pupils now azure, resembling a water-colored long river flowing through heaven and earth. Within the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls, many mysterious ethereal blue runes appeared. If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, these were precisely the Dao charms of the Primordial Source Flow that had initially surged from the Sea Eye.

Qing Nü waved her delicate hand, and the Abyssal Sea-Stabilizing Pearl flew out from her storage pouch. Subsequently, the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls around her lit up, like twenty-four streaks of aurora, descending from all directions onto the Abyssal Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

With crackling sounds, faint cracks appeared on the Abyssal Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The vast primordial power hidden within it, like a heavenly river pouring down, was absorbed and refined by the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls.

This speed was thousands of times faster than when they were refining it previously.

Chen Mobai also had a look of astonishment. He wondered to what extent Qing Nü's Nascent Spirit had transformed during this refinement of fetal essence, and what kind of fortune she had gained.

But one thing was certain: for Qing Nü, this was an immense stroke of luck.

Just like when he obtained the Turtle Treasure.

Forty-nine days later, the already fragmented Abyssal Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, with a final crisp sound like a glass falling to the ground, shattered into countless pieces.

Meanwhile, its vast primordial power had been completely refined by the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls.

The originally ethereal blue Sea Stabilizing Pearls now seemed to harbor an ocean world, with countless lives being born within. In their deepest reaches, a faint rune containing innate Dao charm could be seen.

A total of twenty-four innate runes were expounding an Innate Great Dao.

At this point, the azure hue in the depths of Qing Nü's pupils receded, but in her every gesture and movement, there was an indescribable aura of creation.
