Chapter 795: The Land of Nascent Embryo Formation

Chen Mobai waved his hand, and a purple-blue divine flame appeared, settling in his palm.

Three and a half years ago, with the help of the Twin Purple-Blue Swords, he had already condensed a complete Dousing Fire. Chen Mobai wasn't greedy enough to condense a second one. After all, the Twin Purple-Blue Swords had been working intensely for years and deserved a break.

As the Dousing Fire appeared, two ancient and elegant swords flew out from it. Their blades were slightly hot and red as they revolved around Chen Mobai. He immediately threw two high-grade spirit stones onto the sword blades. Pure and rich spiritual energy was then absorbed and refined by the two swords. Gradually, their blades, which had been glowing hot from the Dousing Fire, began to cool, eventually returning to their original purple and blue colors.

Chen Mobai raised both palms, and the Twin Purple-Blue Swords simultaneously settled into his left and right hands. With these two swords, he didn't even need to use the Mutual Understanding Pact; his sword heart was clear, as if they were extensions of his own hands. Chen Mobai sensed that under the influence of the Dousing Fire, they had not only recovered all the energy consumed in condensing the Primal Yin-Yang Qi but also became even more spirited.

The Violet Lightning Sword, in particular, had been with Chen Mobai for a long time, having absorbed countless spirit stones to enhance itself. Although its blade material was originally just ordinary fourth-tier Sky Thunder Violet Gold when forged, through its relentless refinement, it now showed hints of a fifth-tier presence. In contrast, the Azure Frost Sword had a somewhat meager past, so even though its spiritual essence had strengthened considerably, it still remained within the fourth-tier realm. The Azure Frost Sword was a bit resentful about this, believing that its previous owner was unworthy, which had hindered its progress on the Grand Dao. It thought that if it had chosen the right person, like the Violet Lightning Sword, its spiritual essence would at least not be weaker than the Violet Lightning Sword's. Chen Mobai sensed the distinct emotions of the Twin Purple-Blue Swords and praised one while comforting the other.

Just then, a blue spiritual light flew towards them. It was Qing Nü.

"Why did you suddenly come out of seclusion?" Chen Mobai asked. For years, he had been in seclusion beneath the Five-Horned Ancient Maple, only waking up at the end of each year to collect the Five Elements Essence Qi. It shouldn't be time yet.

"My body refinement technique has broken through to the fourth-tier," Chen Mobai said with a smile, then put down the Twin Purple-Blue Swords, sending them back to their realm.

"Amazing! With this, your chances of forming a Nascent Soul are virtually guaranteed," Qing Nü said, looking delighted. She had always had full confidence in Chen Mobai, believing that even his previous foundations, before the fourth-tier body refinement, were enough for him to form a Nascent Soul.

After celebrating for a long while, Chen Mobai took the communication talismans that had been sent there over the years. None of them were major issues.

The Five Elements Sect was already the undisputed hegemon in the Eastern Wilderness. After covering the entire Eastern Wilderness with medium-sized teleportation arrays, the connectivity project, managed by E Yun, was progressing steadily, having basically completed the deployment in all core market towns across the nineteen prefectures of the Eastern Wilderness. Many cultivation families, after trying it, exclaimed that it was truly immortal magic and all wanted to set up a Sky-Piercing Device for their own families. In response, E Yun, following Chen Mobai's instructions, helped arrange these devices at cost price, leveraging these cultivation families to seize market share. However, expanding from the market towns in county centers to individual cultivation families increased the workload by more than tenfold. It might take decades to capture all the untapped markets.

Chen Mobai then recalled the satellites that Qing Nü had mentioned earlier. If they had satellites, the biggest challenge for the connectivity project in the Eastern Wilderness could be easily resolved. However, given his current situation of being exiled to the far north to fish in the snow, even with Yun Yangbing's help, there was no way to get a decommissioned satellite from the Celestial Net and Terrestrial Web Administration. After all, even if decommissioned, these items remained very important, as they were originally key array nodes of the Celestial Net. He could only think of a solution after he formed his Nascent Soul.

Chen Mobai then checked the communication talismans regarding the Five Elements Merchant Association. Yue Zutao was doing very well in the Eastern Lands, having made a name for himself by relying on inexpensive yet high-quality industrialized talismans and ink. However, limited by their own strength, they had recently started facing suppression. After all, in the Eastern Lands, talismans and ink were a pillar industry for many sects and families, and they certainly wouldn't allow the Five Elements Merchant Association to simply encroach upon it. Fortunately, Yue Zutao, following Chen Mobai's reminder, had paid his respects to the Nine Heavens Merchant Association in advance. With the backing of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, the local forces in the Eastern Lands didn't resort to underhanded tactics, only normal commercial suppression.

However, many shops that originally cooperated with the Five Elements Merchant Association, pressured by the major talisman and ink merchant guilds, preferred to tear up agreements and pay spirit stones rather than continue stocking goods from the Five Elements Merchant Association. If the Five Elements Merchant Association relied solely on its own sales, it could at most sell a few hundred to a thousand talismans per day. This led to a sudden overcapacity in the puppet factories that Liu Wenbai had established across the Eastern Wilderness with the sect's support over the years. Under these circumstances, it became difficult for Yue Zutao to collect the resources Chen Mobai needed. However, Yue Zutao stated in his communication that he was confident in breaking the deadlock by relying on the sect's excellent products. Over the years, he had been continuously seeking new partners in the seven immortal cities of the Eastern Lands, promoting their industrialized talismans and ink. Cultivators could still discern the quality of their products.

Currently, a few major merchant associations in the Eastern Lands were willing to cooperate with the Five Elements Merchant Association, but their terms were extremely harsh, demanding nearly ninety percent of the profits and imposing many stringent requirements. Yue Zutao naturally refused, but the markets in the seven immortal cities were firmly controlled by the established major powers of the Eastern Lands. Under the combined suppression of several commercial giants, the Five Elements Merchant Association, as a new force, immediately found itself struggling. Yue Zutao, being resourceful, began to explore alternative paths, selling in market towns outside the seven immortal cities. Now, relying on a good reputation, and with sales to rogue cultivators, small families, and minor forces, they were making difficult inroads into the Eastern Lands market.

After reading this, Chen Mobai replied, affirming Yue Zutao's approach and instructing him to continue cultivating the untapped market, implementing a commercial strategy of "rural encirclement of cities." As for the overcapacity issue in the Five Elements Sect's puppet factories in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai personally summoned Liu Wenbai and told him not to halt production, but to continue. "Before long, the Eastern Lands will be scrambling to buy our talismans and ink." Anyway, after the puppet factories were built, the cost of producing talismans was very low. Although the puppets frequently broke down due to their limited capabilities, the labor cost in the Eastern Wilderness was incredibly cheap. Chen Mobai had more sect contributions than he could use, so he had Liu Wenbai hire twenty puppet masters from the Five Elements Sect for each factory, working shifts day and night.

"Yes, Master."

"There are a few other things I need to report to you. Currently, the seven puppet factories in the Eastern Wilderness are operating together, producing twenty million talismans annually. Originally, we planned to open seven more in the five prefectures bordering Cloud Dream Lake. Also, producing talismans requires a large amount of first-tier Scarlet Sun Spiritual Wood. Junior Sister Zhuo has improved the tree species, allowing them to grow quickly, though they can only reach the lower grade of first-tier. However, this is perfectly sufficient for making talismans. For these improved new Scarlet Sun Spiritual Woods, besides Giant Wood Ridge, I plan to plant them on a large scale in the seven southern prefectures." Liu Wenbai was very happy to see Chen Mobai again after six years and recounted all his ideas and achievements from those years.

The current seven puppet factories consume two hundred mature Scarlet Sun Spiritual Woods annually. If they follow Chen Mobai's plan to produce hundreds of millions of talismans annually, they would need a thousand trees. Although there were tens of thousands of Scarlet Sun Spiritual Woods in Giant Wood Ridge and the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they couldn't just deplete their resources. Therefore, Liu Wenbai had already begun preparations for afforestation. The southern prefectures of the Eastern Wilderness had a mild climate with abundant moisture. As long as Scarlet Sun Spiritual Wood was planted there and tended by spirit planters, it would generally survive and grow. The tree species improved by Zhuo Ming could mature in just twenty years. Liu Wenbai planned to initially plant one hundred thousand saplings in the seven southern prefectures and then prepare for phases two and three depending on the situation.

"Go forth boldly; your master supports you. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Ming'er." Chen Mobai listened, then patted his eldest disciple's shoulder, very satisfied. After so many years of training, Liu Wenbai was finally capable of handling things independently. Establishing factories, managing labor, afforestation, and more—he had figured out the experience and plans on his own, even without his master's direct guidance.

After discussing the puppet factories, Chen Mobai inquired about the most important matter: cultivation. While busy with Xiaonanshan Shop and the puppet factories over the years, Liu Wenbai hadn't neglected his cultivation. Because he practiced the Two Phases Technique and diligently refined his spiritual power without relying on elixirs, he remained in the late Foundation Establishment stage, but was continuously making slow progress. Chen Mobai took his pulse and used the Formless Puppet to demonstrate cultivation methods, improving minor issues in his practice that he hadn't noticed himself.

"In about twenty years, you should be able to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment and attempt to form a Core." Liu Wenbai was both surprised and overjoyed by these words. He knew his talent was at the bottom among the Xiaonanshan lineage, and originally, reaching Foundation Establishment in this life had been his lifelong goal. Now, with the chance to form a Core, he felt his life was filled with hope and light.

"This disciple's achievements are all thanks to Master..." Liu Wenbai spoke at length, shedding tears of gratitude, while Chen Mobai smiled and shook his head. "For a person to achieve something, it mainly depends on their inner drive. If you were lazy, foolish, and lacked ambition, even with a Nascent Soul Venerable as your master, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today." Chen Mobai's words instilled even more confidence in Liu Wenbai.

"Then this disciple will take his leave. I wish Master early success in forming a Nascent Soul and a lifespan of a thousand years." Liu Wenbai's words made Chen Mobai laugh out loud.

After sending off his eldest disciple, Chen Mobai did not continue his seclusion because Qing Nü was preparing to form her Core. At this moment, Chen Mobai became somewhat anxious and worried about gains and losses. After all, she was his Dao companion; what if she failed?

"You don't need to worry," Qing Nü reassured Chen Mobai. "With the Outer Core Elixir, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, and the innate Water Element Essence Qi as a safeguard, I am sure to succeed in forming my Core." Qing Nü, in turn, comforted Chen Mobai. In fact, she could have attempted to form her Core much earlier, but Chen Mobai had been in seclusion, and she had also been guiding Zeng Woyou and others in refining the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment, leaving her no time. Now that Chen Mobai's Evergreen Dao Body had broken through, and his Pure Yang True Qi had reached perfection, he only needed the Primordial True Qi to attempt to form a Nascent Soul, which paradoxically gave him enough free time. So, Qing Nü decided to form her Core during this period.

"Alright then. Oh, and you've also refined my Grand Unity Five-Smoke Veil. There's a heavenly tribulation for Core Formation here. Although you have a fragment of the Dark Radiance Flag, an extra magical artifact will be safer..." As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out his Grand Unity Five-Smoke Veil, which he had already elevated to a top-grade fourth-tier artifact using the Mutual Understanding Pact, and handed it to Qing Nü.

"Your disciple managed to pass such a powerful heavenly tribulation with just a fragment of the Dark Radiance Flag. How could I, undergoing normal Core Formation, not pass it?" Qing Nü found Chen Mobai's unusually concerned demeanor amusing, yet also felt a touch of sweetness. She knew it was because he cared about her deeply.

"Alright, I'll wait for you here. Take this supreme-grade spirit stone with you too..." Chen Mobai watched Qing Nü fly towards the Five-Horned Ancient Maple, handing her a fully charged supreme-grade spirit stone. She took it and landed in the most spiritually abundant area of Tianpeng Mountain. There was actually a Spirit Gathering Array arranged with twelve high-grade spirit stones here. If activated at a crucial moment, its spiritual energy would be no less potent than a top-grade fourth-tier spirit vein. If one of these stones were replaced with a supreme-grade spirit stone, it could even elevate the array to a fifth-tier level. Qing Nü made the exchange in front of Chen Mobai, who nodded reassuringly.

Subsequently, the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, and powerful, pure spiritual energy began to emerge, like a layer of misty white fog, slowly obscuring Qing Nü's graceful and elegant figure. Chen Mobai retreated to a distant wooden house, listening to the sounds of Qing Nü's Core Formation with a clear mind. All the dense spiritual energy around was rapidly absorbed and refined by Qing Nü, as if an endless black abyss was devouring it.

Chen Mobai seemed to hear the surging tides of the ocean, with gurgling water sounds like swirling eddies, as if a vast and mysterious whirlpool emerged from the depths of the boundless sea. The surrounding seawater, pulled by the whirlpool's gravity, rushed in like a mighty army, plunging resolutely into this bottomless black abyss. At the whirlpool's edge, the seawater was torn into slender columns, like countless giant dragons soaring through the air, only to be swiftly ripped apart and swallowed by the abyss. The whirlpool was profound and immense, as if connected to another unknown abyss, inspiring awe. Chen Mobai wanted to listen and probe further, but there was only endless and profound darkness.

Boom! At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky. Chen Mobai was instantly roused. He looked up at the sky and saw patches of dark clouds beginning to coalesce under the convergence of spiritual energy. Streaks of golden firelight brewed deep within the clouds, as if a great sun was about to crash down, incinerating the entire mountaintop.

A heavenly tribulation already? So quickly? Chen Mobai was both happy and worried. Happy because the appearance of the heavenly tribulation meant Qing Nü had successfully formed her Core, indicating her profound foundation. Soon, the graceful figure previously seated beneath the Five-Horned Ancient Maple ascended on a water-colored spiritual light, flying towards the heavenly tribulation at the mountaintop.

With a colossal boom! A crimson-golden Heavenly Fire Tribulation Lightning bolt struck first, blocked by a dark blue divine light emanating from a black fabric, silently extinguishing and dispersing. Qing Nü's tribulation lightning was unexpectedly powerful, perhaps due to her having switched to cultivating the Soul Transformation Grand Technique and having a very profound foundation. However, with ample preparation and the powerful fragment of the Dark Radiance Flag, she easily passed it without even needing the Grand Unity Five-Smoke Veil. Chen Mobai saw Qing Nü descend gracefully and, relieved, put away his Vast Heaven Mirror and Violet Lightning Sword.

After the heavenly tribulation, incomparably pure spiritual energy surged towards Qing Nü, which she continuously refined with the Black Emperor Abyss Scripture. This process lasted for a long time. Only half a year later did Qing Nü open her eyes from beneath the Five-Horned Ancient Maple and fly over, her face beaming with joy.

"Congratulations," Chen Mobai said. After celebrating with her for a while, he embraced her slightly supple body.

"It's a pity," Qing Nü said as she lay languidly in Chen Mobai's arms. "I've only just caught up to you, and soon you'll be advancing to an even higher realm." Her endurance had clearly strengthened after forming her Core, but facing Chen Mobai, who had already reached fourth-tier body refinement, she eventually succumbed.

"Don't worry, you'll catch up to me someday," Chen Mobai said with a smile. After all, after Nascent Soul comes Soul Transformation, a realm that has historically stumped countless geniuses and prodigies. Even with all the resources of the Eastern Wilderness at his disposal, he wasn't confident enough to step into the Soul Transformation realm. Qing Nü, on the other hand, had not used her Heavenly Spiritual Root foundation for this Core Formation. Coupled with her future refinement of the Three Nascent Soul Elixirs, forming a Nascent Soul was practically guaranteed for her.

"I, however, hope to always be one step behind you in this life." Qing Nü's words conveyed her hope for Chen Mobai to achieve Soul Transformation. Chen Mobai was deeply moved by this and rolled over once more.

Another spring arrived. After Chen Mobai condensed the Five Elements Essence Qi sent by Zhou Shengqing and others, and from the Flying Dragon Pool, into Primordial True Qi, he felt ready to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation. He now had forty-three strands of Primordial True Qi. By the end of next year, he would be able to refine forty-nine strands of Primordial True Qi, which would provide ample preparation for the final stage of breaking the core to reveal the nascent soul.

Chen Mobai took stock of his Nascent Soul Formation resources: one Infant Nurturing Pill, one bottle of Three Lights Divine Water, one Dousing Fire, one unused supreme-grade spirit stone, his own innate Fire Element Essence Qi, and one strand of Pure Yang Violet Qi, condensed over the years using the Vast Heaven Mirror. To be honest, it was a bit meager.

Originally, Chen Mobai had planned to prepare at least a set of the Three Nascent Soul Elixirs. Unfortunately, resources in the Eastern Wilderness were still scarce; he was still missing the fifth-tier Solar Sacred Fruit, a key ingredient for one batch of Infant Nurturing Pills. Chen Mobai decided not to wait any longer. After all, although the Infant Nurturing Pill refined by Yan Shaoyin contained some pill poison, he had personally taken and tested it, and it did have an effect.

For Chen Mobai, the most difficult part of forming a Nascent Soul was the initial stage of nurturing the infant. For the subsequent stages—cultivating the infant, transforming the infant, and the nascent soul breaking free from the core—his cultivation technique had corresponding preparations. Furthermore, after reaching the fourth tier of the Evergreen Dao Body, he no longer had to worry about being unable to withstand the process after forming a Nascent Soul.

Considering this, Chen Mobai needed to decide on the location for his Nascent Soul Formation. He would definitely form his Nascent Soul on the Immortal Sect's side, as his foundation was there. Besides, forming a Nascent Soul here would also involve a terrifying heavenly tribulation. Once this principle was established, the number of available locations within the Immortal Sect was quite limited. He was currently in the Far North Grotto-Heaven, which, despite having a fourth-tier spirit vein, was a mixed ice and water vein, incompatible with his Pure Yang Scroll. It wasn't even worth considering.

That left only two locations: Mount Chicheng, where the Artifact Dance Academy was located, and Mount Danxia, where the Jade Parasol Tree resided. Among these, as the current head of the Artifact Dance Academy lineage, if he were to form his Nascent Soul at Mount Chicheng, the Academy would certainly spare no effort to arrange fifth-tier spiritual energy for him and provide all the best possible conditions. However, there was a very specific situation at present: Venerable Cheng Xuan was attempting Soul Transformation using the "Flowers Blooming in an Instant" technique within the Yuping Minor Realm, the core of the Myriad Treasures Cave. All the fifth-tier spiritual energy from Mount Chicheng's spirit vein had been supplied to him over the years. Even if Chen Mobai were to form his Nascent Soul, the Academy and the Immortal Sect could not possibly halt the supply of fifth-tier spiritual energy to Venerable Cheng Xuan for him. If Venerable Cheng Xuan were to fail at a critical moment in his cultivation because of this, no one could bear the responsibility.

Without fifth-tier spiritual energy, Mount Chicheng's spirit vein would be inferior to Mount Danxia for Chen Mobai. After all, Mount Danxia was his hometown, and according to the Immortal Sect, it would provide additional benefits for his mental and spiritual will. Moreover, Mount Danxia was also a top-grade fourth-tier fire vein, allowing him to maximize the effects of his "Yin Youyi" characteristic. And the supreme-grade spirit stone he had obtained from Yuan Zhen earlier would ensure that Chen Mobai wouldn't need to worry about a lack of spiritual energy during his Nascent Soul formation.

Chen Mobai discussed his ideas with Qing Nü, and she fully agreed. "But aren't you currently in the Far North Grotto-Heaven? How will you return without an order from the Hall of Righteous Law?" Qing Nü thought of this problem and couldn't help but ask. The Immortal Sect had quite a few restrictions on cultivators of Chen Mobai's rank, especially since he was the head of the Artifact Dance Academy, meaning even more people were paying attention to him.

"I'm considered down-and-out now, so Buteian and Kunpeng won't target me so much..." However, Chen Mobai wasn't worried about this at all; he had thought of a method long ago. Nevertheless, this matter still required prior arrangement. After telling Qing Nü, Chen Mobai, after a long time, tapped the Turtle Treasure and returned to the Immortal Sect.

The excavation of the Purple霄 Palace was still ongoing. Because every part of it could contain danger, progress was extremely slow. After all these years, only a little more than half had been excavated. Chen Mobai didn't concern himself with what had been found. After a brief conversation with Zhuang Jialan, learning there were no traces of ancient evil orthodoxies, he confidently told her that he might be leaving for a period. Chen Mobai had originally considered returning to Mount Danxia secretly, but after careful thought, he realized that once he began forming his Nascent Soul, the immense absorption of spiritual energy would be impossible to conceal unless he was in a minor realm. Moreover, the process of forming a Nascent Soul would definitely last for a long time. If the Three Great Halls found out then, it could lead to even more trouble. Therefore, he decided to follow the proper procedure.

Gongsun Jielü was quite surprised when she received Chen Mobai's call. After all, since he had gone to the far north to fish in the snow, they hadn't been in contact for nearly a decade. Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Gongsun Jielü immediately said, "Of course, that's not a problem. I'll approve it for you." Chen Mobai claimed that an elder in his hometown was nearing the end of her lifespan, and during his seclusion the previous day, a vision of her passing had suddenly appeared, prompting him to want to return home to see her. This elder was his aunt, Chen Yulan. Chen Mobai had called his cousin Wang Xinying and learned that Chen Yulan was indeed becoming somewhat disoriented, showing signs of her lifespan nearing its end.

As the Deputy Head of the Hall of Righteous Law, Gongsun Jielü had the authority to approve the travel application of Chen Mobai, who was the head of the Heaven-Mending Group. Upon hearing this, she immediately handled the entire process herself. To prevent Nangong Xuanyu from finding out and obstructing it, she even personally sought out the Head of the Hall of Righteous Law, Shuixian, who had a deep friendship with her and held no particular opinion of Chen Mobai, so she also signed her name on the transfer order.

"Many thanks, Deputy Hall Head Gongsun. Please also extend my gratitude to Hall Head Shuixian." After receiving the transfer order signed by both the Head and Deputy Head of the Hall of Righteous Law on his phone, Chen Mobai gratefully called Gongsun Jielü again.

"It's a small matter. After you've taken care of things at home, you can visit Wangwu Grotto-Heaven before returning to the far north," Gongsun Jielü said, and Chen Mobai nodded. Indeed, he had been away from the Immortal Sect's core for quite some time.

Chen Mobai looked at the Jade Parasol Tree, still unchanged, standing atop Mount Danxia, its branches so vast they seemed to cover the sky. He let out a long breath. He used Void Walking to step onto the mountaintop. Clearly, no one had come up here since he left. After all, apart from him, no one else was qualified to use a top-grade fourth-tier spirit vein. However, since Chen Mobai hadn't been here previously, many spiritual energy permissions had been turned off. While there was still fourth-tier spiritual energy here, it was only enough for the daily needs of the Jade Parasol Tree. After walking through every familiar corner of the mountaintop, Chen Mobai's mind settled. This was the place!

Afterward, he descended the mountain to visit his aunt, Chen Yulan, and injected a wisp of Pure Yang spiritual energy into her, which cleared her previously hazy and confused eyes. This time, when Chen Mobai left, he also brought Chen Baolan. Chen Mobai then left time for the brother and sister. Outside the door, Shi Wanyu and her daughter were also present. Over the years, they had consistently visited and cared for Chen Yulan in the hospital on Chen Mobai's behalf.

"You've worked hard," Chen Mobai said to Shi Wanyu beside him that night. Her face flushed, she shook her head, indicating it was her duty.

"It's a pity I left Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, which delayed my daughter's development." Chen Xiaohei's ten-year territorial assignment had long since expired. Originally, according to Yu Huiping's arrangements, she should have returned, which would have facilitated the allocation of Core Formation spiritual items like the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. But because Chen Mobai was no longer there, Chen Xiaohei decided to stay.

"It's alright, it was her own choice. She's very proud and happy about it," Shi Wanyu said. Hearing Shi Wanyu's words, Chen Mobai was also pleased to have such a daughter.

"My cultivation might be on the verge of a breakthrough, so I'll need to go into seclusion on Mount Danxia for a while. For the household matters, I'll have to trouble you and your daughter again." Shi Wanyu nodded at Chen Mobai's words, thinking her husband was about to break through to the ninth level of Core Formation. Earlier, in the Far North Grotto-Heaven, Chen Mobai had deliberately shown signs of a breakthrough to convey to the Immortal Sect that he had reached the eighth level of Core Formation. Therefore, when he applied to the Immortal Sect's Celestial Net and Terrestrial Web Administration for full access to Mount Danxia's spiritual vein energy, they did not obstruct him and granted it directly. After all, although there was contention among the four upper lineages, no one would intentionally hinder a breakthrough to a minor realm. And even if he broke through, so what? It was merely the ninth level of Core Formation!
