Main Volume
After the distribution of treasures at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Immortal Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators began to assimilate what they had gained from this pioneering war.
Although Chen Mobai acquired many items, he did not slack off at this time. Instead, he continued to hold fast on Dragon God Star, directing the Immortal Sect's formation masters to set up the Earth Vein Grand Formation.
This was also a rare opportunity. After all, he would also need to set up the Sky Veil Earth Vein in the Eastern Wilderness and even the entire Eastern Continent in the future. Although Xing Qian had already taught him these concepts, he would certainly not be able to fully grasp them without practical experience.
With the Immortal Sect's Dual Saints above him, Chen Mobai uncharacteristically didn't slack off and worked diligently.
This time, to set up the Sky Veil Earth Vein Grand Formation, over ten thousand of the Immortal Sect's most elite formation masters were all dispatched to Dragon God Star. Venerable Yun Hai transferred most of the elites from his Formation Master Association, while Chen Mobai deployed more than half of the Sky Veil Earth Vein Administration's personnel here.
Among them, Chen Mobai did not allow the few leaders of the Sky Veil Earth Vein Administration to come, keeping them all back at the Immortal Sect to guard it.
It was precisely for this reason that the less experienced Yun Yangbing was able to manage and direct everyone below him.
For this, Yun Yangbing was very grateful to Chen Mobai.
After all, within the Immortal Sect, not everyone could access the Sky Veil Earth Vein Grand Formation. As the ultimate realm of Immortal Sect formations, apart from Xing Qian, only Venerable Yun Hai and Chen Mobai, both fifth-tier formation masters, and the director of the Sky Veil Earth Vein Administration could glimpse its full scope.
This time, Chen Mobai entrusted Yun Yangbing with the Earth Vein Grand Formation, clearly intending to cultivate him into the future director of the Sky Veil Earth Vein Administration.
Yun Yangbing wasn't particularly concerned about this; his pursuit of formations surpassed his desire for power.
However, the director of the Sky Veil Earth Vein Administration was the only official within the Immortal Sect who, by virtue of their position, could comprehend the complete sixth-tier grand formation. He yearned for this greatly.
Therefore, for the setup of this Earth Vein Grand Formation, Yun Yangbing truly poured his heart and soul into it, working tirelessly day and night, relying on his abundant energy after forming his Core.
Besides Yun Yangbing, Chen Mobai also took the lead, leading a group of elite Immortal Sect formation masters, traversing all corners of Dragon God Star over these years.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
After slaying the Mother Queen, over nearly ten years in total, Chen Mobai finally inserted the necessary formation plates for the Earth Vein Grand Formation into all the leyline spiritual hubs on Dragon God Star.
With the grand formation's connection, streaks of brilliant light shot up into the sky. Then, under his control, they crisscrossed within the earth, slowly weaving into a grid that covered the entire Dragon God Star.
The moment the Earth Vein Grand Formation took shape, Lin Daoming, who had transformed into a spiritual hub, opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
His Myriad Manifestations of Spiritual Hub, although it could merge with the earth's spiritual veins and even the Immortal Sect's technology couldn't detect it, certainly couldn't escape the notice of the Earth Vein Grand Formation.
Because once the Earth Vein Grand Formation was formed, the entire earth's spiritual veins would be interconnected, then combine with the Sky Veil, becoming one.
And only Xing Qian, the Immortal Sect's sole sixth-tier formation master, could accomplish this process.
Lin Daoming knew very well that he might be able to deceive Chen Mobai and Venerable Yun Hai, but he absolutely could not deceive Xing Qian.
So at this point, even if he was unwilling, he could only give up.
Fortunately, in the last few years, probably due to increased proficiency, his speed in condensing Embryonic Transformation Qi had become faster. Even after setting aside what was for the Ascension Sect, he still had nearly a complete strand.
However, there was no such thing as too much of this, so whenever possible, he continued to condense it on Dragon God Star.
But now, he had to leave!
With this thought, Lin Daoming finished condensing the last wisp of Embryonic Transformation Qi, gathered the surrounding formation flags and plates, reluctantly glanced at the cave where he had resided for so long, and turned to leave.
Three days after he left, the light net of the Earth Vein Grand Formation also covered this spot.
Half a month later, Chen Mobai had completely connected the Earth Vein Grand Formation. He stood atop the Vermilion Bird Dao Palace, with thousands of Immortal Sect formation masters, including Yun Yangbing, beside him, all with faces full of pride, gazing at the grand formation crisscrossing across the earth, covering the entire planet.
Besides the earth, in the sky, there were also thousands of light rays of various colors, which were precisely the Sky Veil Grand Formation, similarly completed. And among them, the three Dragon God domains originally hidden in the void were also strung together by these light rays, like three suns emitting rays of light, radiating green, yellow, and blue hues in the nine heavens, illuminating the entire Dragon God Star.
Venerable Yun Hai piloted a starry sky warship, carrying the elites of the Immortal Sect's Formation Master Association, sweeping through the nine heavens, continuously inspecting the final work before the Sky Veil and Earth Vein merged.
Chen Mobai was also not negligent; after the Earth Vein Grand Formation was fully connected, he used formation plates to debug the various spiritual hubs.
After the trial run began, many problems were discovered.
However, these problems, due to the grand formation's full connection, all appeared on the formation plates. After Chen Mobai pinpointed their locations, he dispatched Yun Yangbing and others to make repairs.
Another half a month passed. The Sky Veil and Earth Vein had begun operating normally. After Chen Mobai and Venerable Yun Hai had cross-checked each other's work, they then went together to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to petition Old Ancestor Xing Qian to merge the two grand formations.
Soon after, Xing Qian flew out of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, one hand pointing to the sky, the other to the earth.
Heaven and Earth converged between his hands, merging from top to bottom.
Finally, heaven and earth converged, and boundless light rays burst forth from a brilliant light orb, falling into the various spiritual hubs across heaven and earth.
Xing Qian seemed to have discovered something, but did not speak, closing his hands.
In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if Dragon God Star had gained another layer of heaven-and-earth fetal membrane, encompassing all living beings on the planet.
After the Sky Veil and Earth Vein merged, Xing Qian beckoned to Chen Mobai and Venerable Yun Hai, and the two immediately came to his side.
"These are the energy distribution points within the planetary mineral veins and underground seas. Have Ying Guanghua mobilize the Immortal Sect's personnel to come here and excavate all of these clean in the shortest possible time."
As Xing Qian spoke, he conjured a model of a planet in mid-air, with glowing spots on it. A tap of his finger would reveal the specific mineral distribution and quantities at that location.
"Yes!"
Chen Mobai was from the Three Great Halls, so he took the planetary model.
"The Spirit Venerable will take the star core then," Xing Qian continued. "However, the spiritual veins within Dragon God Star's land and seas can still be extracted and channeled into the Immortal Sect. Even after accounting for losses, this can provide the Immortal Sect with enough spiritual energy for another God Transformation stage cultivator in a short time!"
Xing Qian then instructed Venerable Yun Hai, who immediately nodded in affirmation. His next task was to extract Dragon God Star's spiritual veins and transport them to the Immortal Sect via the Sky Veil Earth Vein Grand Formation.
And after all the mineral deposits and spiritual veins were emptied, this planet would reach its time of demise.
At that time, the Spirit Venerable would act to retrieve the star core.
After Xing Qian finished speaking, he handed the golden light orb in his hand to Venerable Yun Hai, who immediately received it respectfully. This was the core of Dragon God Star's Sky Veil Earth Vein; to control the grand formation and extract the planet's spiritual veins, this was required.
After both matters were fully instructed, Xing Qian vanished from the spot.
Chen Mobai and Venerable Yun Hai discussed for a while. However, whether it was mining or extracting and transporting spiritual veins, more manpower was needed. These formation masters alone were no longer sufficient, so they decided to hold a small meeting of Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, because many Nascent Soul cultivators had already returned to the Immortal Sect, they also made a trip back through the realm gate this time.
In the Immortal Affairs Hall, only half of the Nascent Soul cultivators came this time.
After all, Qi Yuheng and Shuixian were attempting God Transformation, Venerable Beiming was guarding the former, while Yuxiao and Yu Yi were not interested. Taohua and Sanjue made excuses of being busy and did not participate either.
Apart from the Nascent Souls from the Three Great Halls, only those from Butian were the most numerous.
"Nangong is quite familiar with Dragon God Star's situation," Ying Guanghua said. "I intend to entrust the mining operations to him. What do you think, Venerable Chunyang?"
Ying Guanghua stated his thoughts and politely asked Chen Mobai, as he knew Chen Mobai and Nangong Xuanyu had a grudge.
"Since Old Ancestor Xing Qian has entrusted this matter to Hall Master Ying, then Hall Master Ying should be fully responsible for it; I have no objections." Chen Mobai also knew that Nangong Xuanyu was the most suitable candidate. The animosity between the two of them had already concluded when Old Ancestor Xing Qian sent him to Dragon God Star, so he nodded.
"The Sky Veil Earth Vein Grand Formation has been completed, and the insect beasts are no longer a threat," Ying Guanghua continued. "To save on the budget, I intend to withdraw the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird Dao Palaces and their corresponding war artifacts. What do you all think?"
Ying Guanghua then brought up another matter. After slaying the Mother Queen, because there were still many insect beasts underground, the Three Great Dao Palaces still suppressed the three sides of Dragon God Star to protect the Immortal Sect cultivators mining and gathering resources. Even when not actively used, the spiritual energy and spirit stones consumed daily were astronomical figures, causing Ying Guanghua, who was in charge of logistics, great heartache.
Now that the grand formation was complete, the insect beasts could no longer absorb even a trace of spiritual energy, and would even be gradually suppressed and eradicated by the Earth Vein Grand Formation. Therefore, he immediately put forward this proposal.
This proposal was also passed unanimously.
Although the crowd wasn't in charge of household finances, they also knew that their foundation wasn't deep, and every bit saved was a gain.
And after the war artifacts were withdrawn, it was time for Ying Guanghua to demonstrate his abilities. Chen Mobai also took this opportunity to return to the Immortal Sect to recuperate.
Since the realm gate opened, and with the Immortal Sect's God Transformation cultivator personally overseeing operations, he had been as if treading on thin ice, personally attending to everything with unprecedented diligence. Unconsciously, eighteen years had passed.
Chen Mobai could swear that this was the most arduous period of his work life.
Now that the Earth Vein Grand Formation at hand was completed, he could finally rest for a while and attend to his own matters.
First was spending time with his family.
Since Chen Xiaohei formed her Core, Chen Mobai had not yet seen her.
After returning to his own courtyard, the family of three was exceptionally warm and happy.
While enjoying the joys of family life, Chen Mobai also took out Old Ancestor Yun Ya's notes and began to read them.
It recorded many things about the Dan Ding Sect, stating that it was a major sect of the White Crane Daoist Temple, and its founding patriarch, Daoist Dan Ding, came from the Central Daoist Temple of the Purple Cloud Galaxy.
Daoist Dan Ding once had the fortune to attend lectures under Dao Venerable Zixiao, obtaining the Pure Yang Scroll of the Can Tong Qi, as well as the Purple Green and Phoenix Seal Heavenly Scrolls. His cultivation was at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, just one step away from merging with the Dao.
Untold millions of years ago, Dao Venerable Zixiao achieved profound mastery of creation, suppressed the Demon Lord who sacrificed stars, and transcended to the other shore.
After Dao Venerable Zixiao transcended, several disciples began to go their separate ways, even fighting fiercely to contend for the method of transcendence, and ultimately, the Central Daoist Temple was left in ruins.
Daoist Dan Ding's cultivation was insufficient. Under these circumstances, he left the Central Daoist Temple and borrowed his friend Dao Lord Wangji's White Crane Daoist Temple to attempt to merge with the Dao.
Unfortunately, his foundation was insufficient, and ultimately, his attempt to merge with the Dao failed.
However, due to the strife and warfare at the Central Daoist Temple, Daoist Dan Ding did not return. Instead, he remained at the White Crane Daoist Temple, living out his years, and also left behind the inheritance of the Dan Ding Sect.
So, in a sense, the Dan Ding Sect could be considered to have originated from the Dao Venerable.
Chen Mobai could tell that when Old Ancestor Yun Ya wrote these contents, there was immense pride in his brushstrokes.
"Since it originated from the Dao Venerable, how could there be no Dao Venerable's methods?"
Chen Mobai muttered a few words to himself and then continued reading.
This notebook of Old Ancestor Yun Ya's, besides elucidating the origin of the Dan Ding Sect, also contained his understanding of the great art of Can Tong Qi.
After Chen Mobai memorized all of this, he turned to the last page.
The content recorded here surprisingly concerned the Purple Cloud Palace.
It turned out that this Purple Cloud Palace was where Dao Venerable Zixiao preached to all heavens.
Daoist Dan Ding was originally an ordinary Qi practitioner on a planet. By chance, he entered the Purple Cloud Palace, sat on a futon, listened to the Dao Venerable's lectures, and cultivated all the way to Nascent Soul, God Transformation, and even Void Refinement.
The Purple Cloud Palace would appear anywhere in the universe where living beings were born. Dao Venerable Zixiao widely propagated Qi cultivation techniques and methods of immortality, opening wide the gates of transcendence for all beings.
And even after the Dao Venerable transcended to the other shore, this Purple Cloud Palace still followed this rule, circulating within the universe.
However, after the Dao Venerable was no longer present, even if one could enter the Purple Cloud Palace, at most, one would only gain some insights into cultivation.
However, there were also rumors that because the Purple Cloud Palace was where the Dao Venerable had meditated for the longest time, perhaps it contained the method of transcending to the other shore left by the Dao Venerable.
The reason the Immortal Sect's Five Ancestors were willing to come to Earth Star back then was because they knew that the Purple Cloud Palace would rotate and descend here every twelve hundred years.
The Purple Cloud Palace!
Chen Mobai silently recited this term in his mind, recalling that the last descent was when the True Yang Abbot attained the Primordial Spirit, and it had been 1100 years since then.
This meant that in another 100 years, he would be able to await the true descent of the Purple Cloud Palace.
This was another opportunity.
Perhaps it was the opportune moment for God Transformation.
Thinking thus, Chen Mobai closed Old Ancestor Yun Ya's notes and committed this matter to memory.
However, during the last descent of the Purple Cloud Palace, did the Immortal Sect's Dual Saints enter it?
Chen Mobai thought of this matter again.
When he had time in the future, he would ask Old Ancestor Bai Guang. Thinking of this, he took out the note for comprehending the Immortal Sect's sword art.
But before that, he still needed to further refine his sword dao.
