Chapter 704: Pure Yang Dharma Body's Answer

Chen Mobei had not forgotten his experience comprehending the Primordial Stone at Golden Light Cliff.

Mo Douguang had told him that the Primordial Ancestor left him three strands of Primordial True Qi: two entered his body and his life-bound sword artifact, respectively, and the third, from within the Primordial Stone, was preserved for inheritance. Thinking back, Mo Douguang had already conveyed the secrets of cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit to Chen Mobei at that time. However, due to the restrictions of a Dao heart oath, he couldn't explain it clearly, which is why Chen Mobei only now fully understood.

"I heard Master say that besides the Five Elements Spirit Tree, this One Yuan Secret Realm also contains the Altar of the Earth God left by True Monarch One Yuan, where one can seek guidance from a high-level ascendant being. Let's search around; perhaps there are other hidden treasures to be found."

After plucking the Five Elements Spirit Fruits, Zhou Ye pointed to the five-colored world beyond the Five Elements Spirit Tree and mentioned something Chen Mobei didn't know. "Senior Brother Zhou, may I take a branch from the spirit tree and five spirit flowers?" After sealing his three spirit fruits, Chen Mobei somewhat regretted not giving the Turtle Treasure to his puppet body when he submitted the Nu River Jade Pendant. He didn't know when he'd be able to enter again, so he directly pointed to the Five Elements Spirit Tree and spoke.

"Junior Brother Chen, you must want to cultivate a new Five Elements Spirit Tree. However, I advise you not to waste your effort. This Five Elements Spirit Tree can only grow and survive in spirit veins where the five elements' spiritual energy is balanced. Master tried before, but all his attempts failed." Zhou Ye shook his head, pointing to his feet. Even within this secret realm, only this central point where they stood now allowed that Five Elements True Monarch to blossom and bear fruit. Zhou Ye advised him again.

Soon, Chen Mobei saw brilliant five-colored light illuminate the Altar of the Earth God. Vast energy surged from the base of the altar, shooting skyward in an instant, like a multi-colored divine dragon connecting heaven and earth. Chen Mobei carefully compared it with his usual cultivation methods and found that, interpreted from the perspective of the Heavenly River Realm, this great divine transformation technique pointed in a completely different direction from that of the Immortal Sect.

The Altar of the Earth God, left by True Monarch One Yuan, embodied the ascendant cultivator's comprehension of the Grand Dao of the Five Elements. As Chen Mobei circulated his Earth Mother Art, what he received from it were the mysteries concerning various types of spiritual earth. Chen Mobei thought of his beloved disciple's spiritual plant cultivation skills and the Immortal Sect's consummate methods of spiritual energy control. He felt that by combining their strengths, they might be able to recreate a spiritual land suitable for the growth of a Five Elements True Monarch.

"You truly aren't willing to let go of anything, are you? Here."

Chen Mobei had long since cultivated the Scarlet Flame Sword Art to the complete realm, but when he compared it with True Monarch One Yuan's inheritance, he still found quite a few flaws. After doing all that, Chen Mobei silently pondered about his pure yang attribute, wanting to know if, with True Monarch One Yuan's insights, there was a way to rapidly improve it. The Altar of the Earth God within this One Yuan Secret Realm offered greater benefits the higher a cultivator's cultivation level.

As expected of an ascendant master, when encountering a cultivation method like "Pure Yang," they could provide three solutions so quickly based on Chen Mobei's description. It was like a search engine in the Immortal Sect: after inputting keywords, the relevant information would appear. In the Metal element territory, they found a lot of fifth-grade Geng Metal, which was an excellent material for refining flying swords.

"Chen Mobei, those spirit flowers bloomed from this True Monarch accumulating the five elements' spiritual energy within this secret realm. They are also Five Elements essences. If you pluck five of them, the next batch of Five Elements Spirit Fruits will be delayed by five years." Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Chen Mobei's expression remained unchanged as he extended his hand.

Chen Mobei actually wanted to explore the secret realm alone. After all, it was left by the ascendant cultivator True Monarch One Yuan; it shouldn't be worse than the Immortal Tree Secret Realm of the Longevity Sect, right? One solution was to take elixirs similar to the Golden Crow Sun-Carrying Elixir, stacking multiple types of elixirs to increase cultivation speed. "Zhou Ye didn't tell me about this."

After collecting the Wutu essences, the two arrived at the center of the field, where there was an Altar of the Earth God built with five-colored earth. "Chen Mobei, the gains from this secret realm need to be divided equally. Shouldn't you also take half of these Wutu essences?" This state of returning to simplicity and truth was clearly due to having gained considerable benefits from the Altar of the Earth God.

"This five-colored Altar of the Earth God contains the Five Elements Grand Dao inheritance left by True Monarch One Yuan. Place your jade pendant on it, then activate it with a spirit fruit, and silently recall any cultivation problems you've encountered. As long as they pertain to the Earth element, you should generally receive answers." As Chen Mobei sighed, Zhou Ye, opposite him, had already opened his eyes.

Another solution was to find a strand of innate pure yang qi, refine it into one's body, and fundamentally resolve the issue of the pure yang attribute. At the Water element Altar of the Earth God, Zhou Ye, having finished his comprehension, opened his eyes. He took the five jade pendants into his hands, his Primordial True Qi ready to be released from his palm.

"Chen Mobei, let's go to the next Altar of the Earth God. I remember you cultivate the Scarlet Flame Sword Art, so why don't we go to the Fire element area?" Subsequently, Chen Mobei saw the field crack open, and irregular dark yellow blocks of earth emerged from the ground. These were all Wutu essences, equivalent to mutated Earth element spirit stones. Chen Mobei asked his most pressing question, but Zhou Ye shook his head.

Not long after, that storage bag was filled with the vast ocean's water. However, at Chen Mobei's insistence, Zhou Ye let him have his way. After all, having obtained the wood and fire spirit fruits, he no longer had such an urgent need for the next batch of spirit fruits to mature.

"Chen Mobei, let's go to the next Altar of the Earth God." Subsequently, Chen Mobei used the Formless Puppet to manifest a Pure Yang Spirit Fruit and somewhat nervously injected it into the Fire element jade pendant. However, all this content and inheritance required him to organize, understand, and memorize it himself.

Chen Mobei looked at the boundless ocean around them, took out a storage bag, emptied its contents, and threw it into the water. Chen Mobei smiled wryly, dividing the earth blocks he had captured with his divine sense in mid-air and throwing half towards Zhou Ye. Zhou Ye then opened his storage bag and collected them all.

Both of them occupied a corner of the Altar of the Earth God, each closing their eyes to search for and comprehend the Fire element Grand Dao they needed. However, the fifth-grade Heaven Calculation Pearl equipped in Chen Mobei's puppet body was inherently equivalent to a small, blank knowledge base. Unfortunately, Chen Mobei probed it and found that the Longevity Tree did not contain the Longevity Sect's inheritance.

Zhou Ye soon closed his eyes, seemingly entering a state of enlightenment. The earthy yellow spirit fruit on his body flickered, merging with the surrounding five-colored spiritual light, gradually becoming one. His entire aura began to grow faintly discernible, becoming ethereal and elusive. This was because Chen Mobei genuinely possessed top-grade spirit stones, although they were unactivated.

After Chen Mobei and Zhou Ye equally divided the Bing Fire essences from the Fire element territory, they proceeded to the domains of the remaining three elements: Metal, Wood, and Water. He copied all the content that surfaced in his mind into the Heaven Calculation Pearl. Once he reached a higher level, he could then slowly compare it and use it to compensate for his weaknesses. As Chen Mobei thought this, his previously somewhat depressed mood instantly improved greatly.

"Chen Mobei, you need to comprehend here and see if your cultivated Wutu True Art has any flaws. If you want to wait for me, we can go together. If not, you can also go to the Altars of the Earth God in the other five elements' areas." In a short time, his comprehension of the Pure Yang Scroll advanced another level. The content of the various layers of the Golden Core realm became more profound and insightful than before, and he even thoroughly comprehended quite a bit of content related to Nascent Soul formation.

As for Zhou Ye's realm in the Fire element cultivation method, it was only equivalent to the Foundation Establishment complete realm. Therefore, the benefits he gained were almost negligible compared to what Chen Mobei gained from the Wutu True Art. Hearing this, Chen Mobei felt that he had been a bit rash in opening the One Yuan Secret Realm this time.

Chen Mobei remembered Zhou Ye saying that if his true body had come, he would only be able to stare blankly, but this puppet body had no restrictions regarding the five elements' attributes. These three answers made Chen Mobei couldn't help but marvel at their brilliance. Zhou Ye's words made Chen Mobei even grateful to him. But by then, Chen Mobei had no way to stop him; he could only share it.

The two first arrived at the vast field representing the Earth element. This place was surprisingly a fifth-grade spiritual field, but unfortunately, nothing was planted on it; it was empty as far as the eye could see. Soon, guesses and answers conforming to Heavenly River Realm standards appeared within Chen Mobei's Heaven Calculation Pearl. Seeing that Zhou Ye had entered a state, Chen Mobei also wasted no more time and looked at the jade pendant.

Zhou Ye landed in the field, bent down, and grabbed a handful of dark yellow soil. Feeling the pure telluric energy within it, he injected his cultivated Wutu spirit fruit into the ground. The highest-grade one was naturally the Longevity Sect's Earth Element Immortal Scripture. However, his cultivation was not high, so he could only grasp some superficial understanding of the Nascent Soul chapter's content, unable to thoroughly grasp it.

The benefits Zhou Ye gained from entering this secret realm were all things he needed most. "Please wait a moment longer for me, Chen Mobei." So after much thought, it was better not to separate from Zhou Ye. Then, they left the place together with Zhou Ye. Even Zhou Ye himself couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Subsequently, various profound mysteries of spiritual earth began to pour into the Heaven Calculation Pearl within his puppet's core. He copied all the Earth element Grand Dao related to the Earth Mother Art into it. Afterwards, he began to recall the Earth element cultivation methods he had encountered. After completing this task, the two, laden with gains, passed through the void portal and exited the One Yuan Secret Realm.

Zhou Ye pointed to the five-colored Altar of the Earth God and said, "Besides this one, there should be four other altars, which perfectly constitute the Five Elements inheritance, exactly as the Primordial Ancestor described." An inheritance like that of a Grand Dao tree made him enter a state of enlightenment. The second type of solution could be directly adopted.

His eyes gleamed, yet his entire being seemed to shed all aura, appearing like the most ordinary mortal, sitting on the altar, perfectly ordinary. And Zhou Ye, in order to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, had also long ago chosen his Five Elements cultivation method, which was the Taiyi True Fire Art, the same as Sheng Zhaoxi's. Although he hadn't fully mastered it, activating a strand of Fire essence was no problem.

Unfortunately, the Yellow Emperor's Deep Virtue Scripture required innate Earth element essence qi to cultivate spirit fruits. While his Formless Puppet could manifest acquired myriad phenomena, it was utterly helpless with this. If it were a cultivator, they would naturally only be able to remember and comprehend the key content they needed from the vast and boundless inheritance of True Monarch One Yuan.

"Then where is the inheritance of the Primordial Dao Fruit?" But subsequently, some content was still retrieved. As for the first solution, which involved elixirs similar to the Golden Crow Sun-Carrying Elixir, Chen Mobei did not know the details of the second part, so he could only keep it in mind and see if he could encounter them in the future.

In the Water element territory, within that vast ocean, both of them sensed that it contained Ren Water essence. Unfortunately, neither of them cultivated Water element methods, so they had no way to extract it. Amidst the sky full of earthy yellow dust, that five-colored altar was the only colorful glow, standing tall and majestic, like the sole source of life and hope in the desolation.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye's heart stirred. He also emptied a storage bag and imitated Chen Mobei. At the Earth element Altar of the Earth God, the two sat in two corners. Zhou Ye placed his yellow jade pendant in the center of the altar, then injected his Wutu spirit fruit to activate it. "It's always unsatisfying not to at least try."

Among these, the Wood element territory was surprisingly also a forest similar to the Immortal Tree Secret Realm, with a fifth-grade Longevity Tree at its very center. The two soon arrived at the Fire element Altar of the Earth God. This time, it was Chen Mobei's turn to activate the jade pendant. He used the Formless Puppet to simulate a Scarlet Flame Spirit Fruit and injected it into the pendant because Zhou Ye's Taiyi True Fire Art had just barely reached the introductory level. He would directly copy it and refine it later when he had time.

Chen Mobei took a jade-like branch that had five spirit flowers blooming on it and carefully sealed it with a secret method, ensuring its vitality would not dissipate. He first circulated the Earth Mother Art, generating the Mother Qi of All Things, and injected it into the jade pendant. Evidently, the Pure Yang Spirit Fruit, which had never appeared in the Heavenly River Realm, caused True Monarch One Yuan's inheritance database to pause briefly. This opening of the One Yuan Secret Realm, just for this, was already a huge gain.

Among these, the last type of solution could be disregarded. At that moment, Zhou Ye also opened his eyes. However, his brows were slightly furrowed, seemingly having not received a satisfactory answer at that Altar of the Earth God. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about this secret realm. In contrast, Zhou Ye had heard quite a few secrets from the Primordial Ancestor.

"These are all fifth-grade Wutu. As the land hasn't been cultivated for years, the soil fertility has already overflowed, likely producing quite a few Wutu essences."
