Chapter 755: Mystical Light Coal-Sculpted Flag (7K)

Pure Nine-Lotus Lantern

There was good news, and there was bad news.

The good news was that Yue Zutao had successfully formed his Golden Core, passed the heavenly tribulation, and was currently consolidating his realm.

Aside from that, it was all bad news.

Both Meng Hong and Xie Yuntian had failed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but show a look of sorrow.

Meng Hong had refined an unorthodox Golden Core. If he failed in his breakthrough using the Golden Core Transposition Method without a spiritual item like the Three Lights Divine Water, death was inevitable.

He recalled their first meeting; at that time, Chen Mobai was merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Meng Hong was the sect master. Although their statuses differed greatly, Meng Hong had instantly recognized his unparalleled talent...

“Sect Master, although Senior Brother Meng failed to form his Golden Core, his life was saved thanks to the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill and the intervention of Old Ancestor Fu.”

Just as Chen Mobai's sorrowful emotions were stirred, he heard Gu Yan's words.

“Is that so? That's good, that's good then...”

While relieved, Chen Mobai hadn't expected that the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill could even counteract the fatal outcome of failing to form a Golden Core with an unorthodox one.

It truly was a masterpiece, perfected by a grand master of alchemy after the Immortal Sect had summarized hundreds of Golden Core spiritual medicines.

Besides aiding cultivators in forming their Golden Core, the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill could also preserve their lives after a failed attempt, and moreover, it could conserve their vital essence, spirit, and qi as much as possible, preventing severe damage to their vitality.

If Meng Hong hadn't died, there was even less to say about Xie Yuntian.

He had merely failed to form his Golden Core, losing only some vital essence and lifespan.

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to visit Meng Hong in person.

When Meng Hong attempted to form his Golden Core, he had borrowed Zhou Shengqing's Longevity Wood Dao field, and he was still there.

When Chen Mobai arrived, Zhou Shengqing was also present. Upon asking, he learned that it was Zhou Shengqing, a Nascent Soul cultivator, who had helped Meng Hong; when Meng Hong failed to form his Golden Core, Zhou Shengqing forcefully intervened and dispersed his spiritual energy.

Combined with the residual medicinal power of the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill, Meng Hong's life was barely saved.

However, because Zhou Shengqing's presence needed to be concealed, it was publicly announced that Fu Zongjue had intervened.

“Cough, cough, I've disappointed the Sect Master...”

Seeing Chen Mobai approach, Meng Hong tried to get up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, he began to cough.

“No need for formalities, just lie down properly.”

Chen Mobai immediately went to the bedside and took Meng Hong's pulse, finding that many of his meridians were broken. His once vast spiritual energy, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator's, had dissipated by ninety-nine percent, with only a tiny fraction remaining dormant throughout his body.

Given his current condition, even if he recovered, he would certainly be unable to advance further.

“Do you have any wishes?”

Chen Mobai asked Meng Hong, who smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“The sect didn't abandon me, allowing me to attempt Golden Core formation twice, wasting many resources. For the next few decades, I hope to put my remaining energy to good use, perhaps teaching newly admitted disciples about cultivation.”

Meng Hong's words, however, made Chen Mobai shake his head.

“The resources for your Golden Core formation were entirely exchanged through your daily contributions. There's no need to feel guilty. Live the rest of your life doing what you wish.”

Chen Mobai's words caused Zhou Shengqing, who was standing nearby, to nod slightly.

Meng Hong was his direct disciple. Although his failure to form a Golden Core deeply saddened him, since he was still alive, he had to face the rest of his life properly.

“Yes, thank you, Sect Master, thank you, Master!”

Chen Mobai then inquired about various aspects of Meng Hong's Golden Core formation attempt. Theoretically, with an unorthodox Golden Core combined with the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill, the probability of success had already reached fifty percent.

The fundamental reason for the failure was still the attribute mismatch of that unorthodox Golden Core.

Although the wind attribute was somewhat related to the wood attribute, its compatibility with the Longevity Scripture could not reach one hundred percent.

Furthermore, Meng Hong was still a bit old, and in his youth, he had taken many pills to enhance his cultivation realm. Even though he had tried his best to compensate in recent years, it still affected his Golden Core formation success rate.

This led to another failure at the last step.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only sigh again. He then recorded these insights for future generations of disciples of the Five Elements Sect to consult.

After instructing Meng Hong to rest well, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing chatted outside for a while longer.

Soon after, Fu Zongjue also arrived.

Chen Mobai spoke about forcing Yan Shaoyin to attempt Nascent Soul formation. Both applauded, as neither believed Yan Shaoyin would succeed.

Finally, he discussed the establishment of the Five Elements Trading Guild. Since Yue Zutao had successfully formed his Golden Core, he was the perfect candidate to oversee this guild.

“I've had thoughts on this matter for a while, but none as well-structured as yours, Junior Brother.”

Zhou Shengqing listened and showed an expression of approval.

The resources in the Eastern Barrens were still insufficient. If they wanted to advance further in the future, they would certainly need to go to the Central Lands, the heart of the Eastern Continent.

For instance, if Chen Mobai were to form his Nascent Soul, pills like the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill could only be purchased in the Central Lands.

Although Yue Zutao was still in seclusion consolidating his realm, preparations for this matter could already begin.

After all, the Five Elements Trading Guild's personnel would nominally have to be drawn from the five branches of the Five Elements Sect. Additionally, they would need to prepare some unique resources from the Eastern Barrens to gradually open up markets beyond it.

Chen Mobai issued the order in his own name, relaying it to all branches of the Five Elements Sect.

However, he didn't force it. After all, this guild was primarily established to serve the sect's Old Ancestors. Sometimes, they would even be willing to take a loss to acquire certain pill resources they needed.

Therefore, whether the other four branches wanted to participate was entirely up to them.

After discussing the draft for the Five Elements Trading Guild, Chen Mobai asked Fu Zongjue if the Earth Branch had sent the Little Azure Dragon, receiving an affirmative reply.

It proved that Zhou Ye was indeed single-mindedly focused on forming his Nascent Soul; everything else could be set aside!

The remnants of the Little Azure Dragon had been in his possession for nearly a century, serving only as a memento.

Zhou Ye also didn't believe that Fu Zongjue, a mere third-tier puppeteer, could repair it after it was given to the Wood Branch.

If delaying the Wood Branch's development with the Little Azure Dragon could gain him more time for his own Nascent Soul formation, it would be a very cost-effective trade for Zhou Ye.

“The Longevity Wood Dragon truly lives up to its fourth-tier status. With my current ability, if I were to repair it, it would likely take over a hundred years.”

However, Fu Zongjue also possessed genuine skill. Combined with the abundance of precious fourth-tier spiritual wood like Longevity Wood and complete fourth-tier blueprints for Longevity Puppetry, he had roughly figured out a repair method; it would just be a bit slow.

“Senior Brother should still prioritize cultivation and not spend too much time on the Little Azure Dragon.”

As the three parted ways, Chen Mobai offered a word of advice, but Fu Zongjue shook his head, stating that he had no hope of forming a Nascent Soul in this life. He felt it would be better to use his remaining two hundred-plus years of lifespan to repair this supreme puppet of the Five Elements Sect, leaving a fourth-tier foundation for the sect.

Chen Mobai found it difficult to say more in response.

After returning to his Longevity Wood Dao field, Chen Mobai found that his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbai, was already waiting.

“Master, this is an unorthodox Golden Core refined by Master Zhang of Dongwu.”

Liu Wenbai presented a sealed jade box with both hands. Chen Mobai opened it and inspected it, finding that this unorthodox Golden Core was refined even better than the one Yan Shaoyin had produced. He truly lived up to his reputation as an alchemist specialized in this path.

“Go and notify Zheng Deming. As soon as he accumulates three hundred thousand sect contributions, I'll have the Treasure Pavilion put this unorthodox Golden Core up for sale.”

Liu Wenbai nodded gently after hearing Chen Mobai's words.

After slaying Du Feng back then, the two had maintained contact and were now considered friends.

Seeing that there was still some time until dawn, Chen Mobai finished writing the letter for Yan Shaoyin, then asked Liu Wenbai if he had any cultivation problems.

He actually did.

Thanks to the Immortal Peach Wine, Liu Wenbai had cultivated both his Water and Wood cultivation methods to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment realm. However, he had since been stuck at a bottleneck, failing to break through after two attempts, and thus sought advice from Chen Mobai.

“If it were other Foundation Establishment cultivators, I would advise them to use pills to break through their bottleneck. But since you are my disciple, I hope you can break through through diligent cultivation. That way, when you take the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill in the future, combined with the Two-Phase Art, your Golden Core formation will essentially be guaranteed.”

Among Chen Mobai's four disciples, Liu Wenbai, the eldest, had the most mediocre talent. If he had to rely on pills for a mere late-Foundation Establishment bottleneck now, his chances of overcoming the major hurdle of Golden Core formation in the future would not be high.

“Yes, Master.”

His four disciples in the Heavenly River Realm were all very obedient.

Upon Chen Mobai's words, Liu Wenbai naturally complied, and his heart was filled with hope for his future Golden Core formation.

Next, Chen Mobai used the Formless Puppet to help Liu Wenbai deduce a path, guiding him on how to break through most quickly.

Without external aids like pills, one must deepen their internal cultivation, practice repeatedly, and solidify their foundation to naturally overcome the barrier.

After providing guidance, Chen Mobai took a portion of the talisman paper and ink produced by the puppet factory this year and handed it to Liu Wenbai.

After unifying the Eastern Barrens, Little Nanshan Shop now provided him with nearly three million spirit stones in annual revenue. Talisman paper and ink, which were once the pillar industries, now accounted for only about one-third of that.

Chen Mobai planned to further optimize it, upgrading Little Nanshan Shop into a cultivation supermarket, specializing in a comprehensive range of materials.

Under this guiding principle from him, Liu Wenbai had been working towards this goal.

As for the Five Elements Trading Guild, if it were to open up markets outside the Eastern Barrens, Chen Mobai planned to follow Little Nanshan Shop's method: first use industrialized talisman paper and ink to open the low-end market, and after establishing a firm foothold, gradually upgrade to a supermarket.

While the master and disciple were conversing, Wang Tingbo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department, arrived.

He had finished processing the third-tier beast materials Chen Mobai had obtained in the Desolate Ruins.

Yue Zutao had successfully formed his Golden Core and was his direct subordinate, who would also be opening up markets outside the Eastern Barrens in the future. Chen Mobai intended to give him a nascent natal artifact embryo as a reward.

Hence, these materials were needed.

He observed Wang Tingbo's processing method. Although it was all done by hand, because it was an order from him, the sect master, the Artifact Refining Department had put their utmost effort into it. Combined with a cultivator's spiritual sense, it was almost as good as machine processing in the Immortal Sect.

This saved Chen Mobai a lot of time.

After receiving these third-tier materials, Chen Mobai once again announced his seclusion.

When he was alone, he took out an Earth Vein Pill and consumed it. Moments later, he opened his eyes and took out a spirit testing device to check his spiritual root values.

Gold 23, Wood 49, Water 39, Fire 99, Earth 73.

Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, looking at the soaring value of his Earth spiritual root.

After reaching the second layer of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, he no longer had to worry about pill toxins.

Besides the Golden Crow Holding the Sun Pill, he also took one Earth Vein Pill each month, waiting for his spiritual root values to increase and be fully assimilated before taking another.

Of course, after each change in his spiritual roots, he would habitually go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to obtain a grand art from the Longevity Sect.

Today's pill was the fourth he had taken since his breakthrough in the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram.

He could take two more pills. As long as these two pills provided 7 points to his Earth spiritual root, he would possess a Heavenly Earth spiritual root in addition to his Heavenly Fire spiritual root.

He wondered if there would be any bonus when cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit then.

However, this matter also made Chen Mobai think of a possibility.

If he were to bring Qing Nü over here in the future, could he use Earth Vein Pills to help her also acquire a Heavenly Earth spiritual root?

After witnessing the profundity of the Evergreen Art, he thought it would be wonderful if Qing Nü could master it.

This way, even if they truly encountered Lin Daoming or were targeted by the Ascension Sect in the future, they wouldn't have to be afraid.

But after thinking it over carefully, he still shook his head.

Because Qing Nü possessed a Heavenly Water spiritual root, her values for the other four attributes were very low. Even if she took nine Earth Vein Pills, without his auspicious fortune, she would probably only gain twenty to thirty points for her Earth spiritual root at most.

Moreover, besides the Earth spiritual root, she would also need to raise her Wood spiritual root.

Three Heavenly spiritual roots—just thinking about it made it feel like an almost impossible feat.

After all, even with his vast resources in the Heavenly River Realm, he only possessed a Heavenly Fire spiritual root.

Nevertheless, after returning to the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai still called Qing Nü and asked her to download the Evergreen Art first.

Although Qing Nü was somewhat puzzled, she still applied to the Jumang Daoist Academy's library for the complete text of this Spirit Transformation cultivation method.

On the Immortal Sect's side, the inheritance of cultivation methods was relatively lenient.

Moreover, even if the Evergreen Art were to spread, its requirement of three Heavenly spiritual roots for entry would cause everyone to despair.

Therefore, although Qing Nü's application was a bit strange, it was still granted permission.

However, because she had applied for the original text left by Old Ancestor Changchun, she needed to wait for permission from Grandmaster Peach Blossom, the head of the academy.

Originally, Qing Nü had already exchanged for the Myriad Transformation Thunder Water and was ready to return to Wangwu Blessed Land.

Because of this matter, she could only be delayed for a few more days.

After Pei Qingshuang obtained ten Water Spirit Pearls, she finally managed to open up the heart of the Azure Frost Sword. Although she hadn't yet reached the state of Sword Heart Transcending Comprehension, she could finally sense the true nature of the artifact spirit.

Thanks to this, her Azure Cloud Sword Scripture finally entered the crucial Golden Core formation chapter.

Upon learning this, Grandmaster Peach Blossom hastily began to protect Pei Qingshuang as she started her Golden Core formation.

The results were not yet out.

However, according to Chen Mobai's estimation, Pei Qingshuang should be able to successfully form her Golden Core.

After all, her foundation was too profound. Coupled with Grandmaster Peach Blossom, a Nascent Soul level mother, it was estimated that besides the Golden Liquid Jade Restoration Pill, she would have other Golden Core formation resources, possibly even more than Chen Mobai.

Of course, Chen Mobai hoped that Pei Qingshuang would successfully form her Golden Core.

After all, they were friends.

However, Qing Nü felt this was a waste of time. She had already obtained a copied version of the Evergreen Art and wanted to return to Wangwu Blessed Land first, then come back to her alma mater when Grandmaster Peach Blossom had free time.

Yet, Chen Mobai, from the airport lounge in Danxia City, approved another leave for her, telling her to rest well at Jumang Daoist Academy and only return after completing the matters there.

The two also discussed Kong Feichen's reply. He was also very shocked by the possibility that Yang Jing might be an immortal sprout of the Ascension Sect Master.

However, because he and Yang Jing were on different extraterrestrial planets, if he wanted to visit Yang Jing, a powerful figure from the Ascension Sect would need to intervene and cross the void with a powerful artifact.

But he stated in his email that Yang Jing was still normal when he last met her.

However, that last meeting was twelve years ago.

Kong Feichen stated that he would find a way to confirm this matter. If Yang Jing truly had been possessed by the Ascension Sect Master, he would live the rest of his life in regret.

Finally, he tragically said that if he died, they should not seek revenge for his foolishness, but instead, Qing Nü and Chen Mobai should live well together.

After reading the forwarded email content, Chen Mobai became even more determined to have Qing Nü stay at Jumang Daoist Academy for now.

After his flight landed in Wangwu Blessed Land, Chen Mobai immediately went to the Heaven Mending Group.

He first reviewed the information regarding the Divine Mechanisms Palace.

However, because it involved Old Ancestor Star-Drawing, much of the content was missing, with only a simple record of the Divine Mechanisms Palace's origin.

As one of the ancient Daoist lineages, it was considered a force friendly towards the Immortal Sect.

This lineage excelled most at divining heavenly secrets, helping cultivators make the most correct choices at critical junctures in their lives.

Besides Old Ancestor Star-Drawing, even Old Ancestor Zhongli from ancient times had been guided by the master of the Divine Mechanisms Palace.

Furthermore, the Heaven Mending Group also recorded a very secretive matter concerning the Divine Mechanisms Palace.

A thousand years ago, the True Yang Temple Master of an ancient Daoist lineage formed his Primordial Spirit in the Purple Heavens Palace, allegedly with guidance from Zhai Zhaoyi of the Divine Mechanisms Palace.

After the Immortal Sect's Dual Sages subsequently slew the True Yang Temple Master, Zhai Zhaoyi also mysteriously passed away. The head of the Heaven Mending Group of that generation speculated that Old Ancestor Star-Drawing might have personally killed his nominal junior brother.

Chen Mobai felt that he had heard the name Zhai Zhaoyi before.

He immediately used the Inch-Square Book to search his memories and quickly realized it was during a conversation with Ding Chunzhi of the Stargazing Academy about the Divine Mechanisms Palace.

Currently, Grandmaster Plum Blossom, the head of the Stargazing Academy, was nominally a disciple of Zhai Zhaoyi.

However, Grandmaster Plum Blossom had never admitted this, always considering herself a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

At that time, Chen Mobai thought Grandmaster Plum Blossom merely wanted to follow Old Ancestor Star-Drawing closely. If the Heaven Mending Group's records were true and Zhai Zhaoyi was indeed problematic, then she had embarked on the wrong path.

If he were Grandmaster Plum Blossom, he wouldn't dare admit to being Zhai Zhaoyi's disciple!

After noting this information, Chen Mobai began to examine other hidden files concerning ancient Daoist lineages within the Heaven Mending Group.

This time, he didn't have Lin Yin move the files over but went directly to Group Three, reviewing them room by room.

With the Inch-Square Book's processing, he quickly stored all these materials in his fourth-tier Heavenly Calculation Pearl, able to retrieve and use them whenever needed.

That evening, he had originally returned to his apartment, intending to review the ancient Daoist lineage data he had recorded during the day, but then Meng Huang'er suddenly called.

She asked if he was coming over that night.

Chen Mobai hadn't originally intended to go, but since she asked, he felt it would be impolite to refuse.

It was another night.

Afterward, Chen Mobai became busy.

After all, he had only recently taken over the Heaven Mending Group, and many things required considerable time to properly integrate. Fortunately, Lan Haitian had already organized matters very effectively, so Chen Mobai, without wishing to show off, simply continued to follow the order established during Lan Haitian's time as supervisor.

After two or three months of adaptation, with Lin Yin's help, Chen Mobai finally got the Heaven Mending Group fully organized.

He then resumed his policy of laissez-faire.

He handed most matters over to Lin Yin, the deputy head, except for those truly requiring his personal involvement, such as communicating with the Enforcement Department or requesting funds from the Finance Department.

Although Lin Yin had been promoted to deputy head, he was, after all, only a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Only when Chen Mobai, the boss, stepped forward would others show respect.

Even so, Chen Mobai finally had some free time.

These past few days, he had been immersing himself in Group Two, the Equipment Group, which housed the Immortal Sect's most advanced artifact refining equipment and workshops.

Chen Mobai directly requisitioned the best one.

Then he began refining artifacts for Yin Qingmei, Luo Yixuan, and Yue Zutao.

Coincidentally, he had three third-tier Yin Void Bamboos. In the state of self-introspection provided by the Heaven and Earth All Living Beings Crown, he easily designed a nearly perfect flying sword blueprint based on the materials' characteristics.

Next came the refining.

Under the influence of the Inch-Square Book, he meticulously advanced the progress of the flying sword, striving for slow, error-free work. Finally, after a month and a half, he completed the first "Azure Bamboo Yin Void Sword."

This sword was of peak second-tier quality, intended for Luo Yixuan to level up with when she forms her Golden Core in the future. This would easily allow her to achieve 'human-sword unity' and also assist cultivators in comprehending the Sword Dao realm.

As Yin Qingmei and Yue Zutao had already formed their Golden Cores, Chen Mobai directly refined third-tier artifacts for them.

They might need to spend ten to twenty years to fully transform them into their natal flying swords.

For these "Azure Bamboo Yin Void Swords," Chen Mobai fully utilized the materials' characteristics and carved a "Sword Shadow Manifestation" technique.

This technique allowed every sword light struck by the flying sword to be accompanied by an invisible shadow sword light.

Although the accompanying shadow sword light was only half the strength of the true sword light.

However, if an opponent encountered this technique for the first time and their spiritual sense was even slightly inattentive, they could easily be ambushed by this illusory, hidden sword shadow.

After refining the three "Azure Bamboo Yin Void Swords," Chen Mobai took out the remaining third-tier beast materials, such as hides and ox horns.

He thought about the ox horn and carved it into a war horn.

The remaining hides were made into leather armor cloaks, each inscribed with a defensive spell that would automatically activate upon encountering an impact from anomalous spiritual energy.

Chen Mobai made two sets of leather armor.

He planned to give one set to Yue Zutao, who was soon going beyond the Eastern Barrens, and the other set to his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbai.

Three fur cloaks were prepared for Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei, and Luo Yixuan.

This way, the blessings would be spread evenly. The war horn could be given to Jiang Zongheng. This artifact could not only boost morale but also vibrate qi and blood, aiding cultivators in body refinement. When fully activated with spiritual energy, it could even directly impact an opponent's Purple Mansion and Sea of Consciousness with sound waves. It was one of Chen Mobai's most satisfying creations.

After completing these artifact refining projects, unknowingly, over half a year had passed.

If Qing Nü hadn't called to say she would be back the day after tomorrow, he probably would have remained engrossed in his work.

“Wait for me at Jumang Daoist Academy; I'll come pick you up.”

Having been in the Heaven Mending Group's underground artifact refining workshop for a long time, Chen Mobai felt he hadn't seen sunlight in ages, so he decided to go out for some fresh air.

Coincidentally, Pei Qingshuang had successfully formed her Golden Core, and they could try practicing together with their purple and azure dual swords to extract the Nine Heavens Clear Spiritual Purple Essence, which was beneficial for Nascent Soul formation.

Chen Mobai was also quite curious about this.

After all, he was now at the seventh layer of Golden Core formation and could begin preparing various resources related to Nascent Soul formation.

Upon hearing he was coming to pick her up, Qing Nü happily canceled the flight ticket she had just booked.

Chen Mobai reported his travel plans to the Enforcement Department, then had Lin Yin book a train ticket; he preferred the leisurely pace.

The night before his departure, he spent it with Meng Huang'er.

In the private room, Chen Mobai gazed at the black fabric in his hand, slowly infusing it with the newly perfected Treasure Refining Golden Light.

This secret art, obtained from the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, had finally reached completion today after decades of his diligent effort.

However, at this moment, his mood was exceptionally calm.

Perhaps due to his increasing age, his mindset had become more mature.

As the Treasure Refining Golden Light fully enveloped the black fabric, waves of inexplicable information suddenly flowed into his Purple Mansion and Sea of Consciousness.

A long while later, he looked at the black fabric on the table with a strange expression.

This was actually a fragment of a fifth-tier artifact.

It was named the "Mystic Light Black Carved Banner."

It was a supreme treasure of the Overturning Sea Gate in the Imperial Court's Ten Directions Hall from the Central Lands back then, but it had shattered during a clash with another equally powerful fifth-tier offensive supreme treasure.

Chen Mobai was fortunate that this artifact had shattered; otherwise, with a complete fifth-tier artifact, his Treasure Refining Golden Light might not have been able to refine it.

But why had this artifact fragment fallen into Yan Fusheng's hands?

Chen Mobai was puzzled.

He began to use the Inch-Square Book to search his Sea of Consciousness for related knowledge.

Soon, he recalled that the Six Jia Mountain's inheritance originated from the Six Ding Six Jia Puppetry of the Central Lands Imperial Court!

Perhaps the founder of Six Jia Mountain had acquired some legacy after the Central Lands Imperial Court disintegrated.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai searched his knowledge for information regarding the Overturning Sea Gate.

Besides the texts recorded in the Five Elements Sect's classics, he also recalled the words exchanged during his confrontation with Xuan Shu.

Xuan Shu's fourth-tier artifact, the Golden Mist Pearl, had been obtained from the ruins of the Overturning Sea Gate.

After Xuan Shu was slain by him, an azure token was left behind!
