Chapter 955

**Main Text: The Artificing Inheritance of the Dan Ding Sect**

After returning to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, Chen Mobai first checked the pop-up messages from Guibao.

"Essence of Void detected. Refine?""Gate of Grand Void detected. Absorb and refine?""Host cultivation level insufficient. Unable to refine."

These unexamined messages had been looping continuously.

Chen Mobai had already learned about the origin of the Realm Gate from Grand Elder Yun Ya's notes, understanding it to be a replica infused with the Dao charm of the Gate of Grand Void. Guibao likely sensed this, mistaking the Realm Gate for the true Gate of Grand Void.

This, however, raised more questions for Chen Mobai. The Gate of Grand Void was a congenital supreme treasure that suppressed the central Dao field in the Purple Heavens Galaxy. It was the highest-ranked magic treasure in this universe, a materialized embodiment of the Great Dao of Void, and one of the fundamental Dao treasures of the cosmos. In terms of cultivation levels, it was an existence on par with an eighth-tier Pure Yang master or even a Demon Lord. If Guibao could refine the Gate of Grand Void, how high was its own rank? Or perhaps, Guibao was only targeting the Realm Gate, not the true Gate of Grand Void itself.

Chen Mobai could only keep this matter in mind, intending to thoroughly investigate the Realm Gate once his cultivation improved. After all, even Guibao itself stated his cultivation was insufficient for refining it. As for the Essence of Void, it was likely the higher-level essence of void power that erupted after the destruction of Dragon God Star, and it might be useful to Guibao. Chen Mobai noted this as well, then recalled the Dan Ding Sect's inheritance.

Daoist Dan Ding was exceptional in both alchemy and artificing. Unfortunately, Grand Elder Yun Ya focused solely on artificing, which led to the Artificing Lineage becoming the ancestral artificing ground on Diyuan Star. In terms of alchemy, aside from the Dao Fruit of the Dan Ding Jade Tree, most of the inheritance had been lost. However, the complete artificing inheritance of Daoist Dan Ding was preserved.

The limit of Post-Heaven artificing was sixth-tier magic artifacts, which were also known as Post-Heaven Supreme Treasures. Beyond the sixth-tier were all Pre-Heaven objects, or artifacts refined from Pre-Heaven spiritual materials, which were manifestations of the three thousand Great Daos. Most of these were naturally formed, such as the Gate of Grand Void. Seventh-tier artifacts were called Pre-Heaven Spiritual Treasures, and eighth-tier artifacts were called Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasures.

Of course, Post-Heaven magic artifacts were not entirely incapable of breaking through the limits to become seventh-tier or even eighth-tier. A cultivator's natal artifact would continuously advance as the cultivator's cultivation level increased. If a cultivator achieved Dao Integration or attained Pure Yang, then these natal artifacts would become Dao-Enlightenment Treasures. The most powerful Dao-Enlightenment Treasures could even rival Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasures.

The artificing inheritance of the Dan Ding Sect, which originated from the Purple Heavens Palace, meticulously recorded these distinctions. Chen Mobai took out Guibao's main body and observed it for a long time, realizing that its rank was at least above sixth-tier, meaning it was a Pre-Heaven object. This realization slightly stirred his heart.

One must know that even the Dan Ding Sect's patriarch, Daoist Dan Ding, only received a seventh-tier cauldron when he left the Purple Heavens Palace. Regrettably, this cauldron was shattered while defending against the Demon Lord. Yet, he, a junior at only the Nascent Soul stage, possessed Guibao, which was at least seventh-tier or even eighth-tier.

However, based on the Dan Ding Sect's artificing inheritance, Chen Mobai felt his Guibao should only be seventh-tier. This was clearly a magic artifact of the Great Dao of Void, and in this universe, the source of all void-related magic artifacts was the Gate of Grand Void. Therefore, no matter how wondrous Guibao seemed in its void manifestations, its rank could absolutely not surpass the Gate of Grand Void. After all, the previous owner of the Gate of Grand Void was Dao Venerable Zixiao, who had achieved Creation.

Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt no regret. He still respectfully placed Guibao back into his spatial domain, offering it up.

After emerging from seclusion, the little Yellow Dragon Maiden immediately came over. "Greetings, Master."

"Are you the only one here?" Chen Mobai asked. The little Yellow Dragon Maiden nodded gently, then took out a glass bottle from her storage pouch and handed it to Chen Mobai.

"Mistress is in seclusion. She asked me to give this to you."

This bottle of pills was, of course, the new batch of Pure Yang Condensation Pills. Although Chen Mobai had told them not to rush, it was clear that both the Five Elements Sect and Qing Nü prioritized his needs. They had collected all the materials early and started refining.

Chen Mobai accepted the pills, feeling grateful for having such a wonderful Dao companion, and then inquired about the Five Elements Sect's situation over the years. However, the little Yellow Dragon Maiden knew nothing. She was a reclusive dragon; as a True Spirit, she rarely left the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion. Since this was Chen Mobai and his wife's secluded dwelling, people from the Five Elements Sect rarely disturbed them. Only disciples like Liu Wenbai and Zhuo Ming would occasionally come to pay their respects, and they would not discuss sect matters with the little Yellow Dragon Maiden.

Chen Mobai paused, realizing he had asked the wrong dragon. He took out his Communication Orb, initially planning to call over E Yun and Zhuo Ming, but remembering that Qing Nü was in seclusion, he decided to visit North Abyss City himself and inspect the development of the new cities in the Eastern Wilderness.

Thanks to Zhang Pankong's strong assistance, the entire Eastern Wilderness was now connected by various sizes of teleportation arrays. Thus, Chen Mobai quickly arrived at North Abyss City via the teleportation array outside his cave mansion in Wind and Rain Immortal City.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Upon receiving the news, E Yun immediately came to pay his respects. Chen Mobai drank tea while asking about the sect's situation, receiving a lot of good news. For example, the previous batch of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills had enabled Yu Lian, Ban Zhaodan, and Yan Yuanhao to successfully form their cores, adding three new Core Formation cultivators to the Five Elements Sect.

However, there were successes, and naturally, failures. Yuan Chiye, who had the closest relationship with Chen Mobai, did not succeed. When mentioning this, E Yun's expression turned a little somber. In the past, when it was still the Divine Wood Sect, their small circle had revolved around Chen Mobai, E Yun, and Yuan Chiye. It was just that Yuan Chiye's aptitude was slightly inferior. Even after years of diligently cultivating his essence, energy, and spirit according to Chen Mobai's guidance, he still failed to cross this hurdle on his first attempt.

"How are his injuries?" Chen Mobai asked with concern, his face full of regret upon hearing this.

"With the Core Formation insights you left, Junior Brother Yuan, upon sensing signs of failure, did not force his way through to condense his core. Coupled with the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, he only suffered some loss of his essence and vitality," E Yun immediately replied. Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, then asked if there were any extra Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.

"Currently, there are two in stock."

"Reserve one for Yuan Chiye. Once his injuries heal, arrange some tasks with high sect contributions for him, so he can exchange for it as soon as possible..." Chen Mobai had always been exceptionally good to his own people. E Yun nodded upon hearing this, indicating that everything would be arranged.

"After I went into seclusion, who else completed Foundation Establishment and exchanged for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill?" Chen Mobai asked. Of the batch of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills Qing Nü had previously refined, he had given one to his cousin, Wang Xinying. Thanks to the combined effect of two Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, she had fortunately succeeded in Core Formation and was currently stabilizing her realm. Of the remaining nine pills, five had already been claimed before his seclusion.

"It was Martial Uncle Ji Guanhai from the Water Meridian and Martial Aunt Luzhu from the Earth Meridian. Martial Uncle Ji Guanhai failed again. There's no news from Martial Aunt Luzhu yet; she'll likely wait until Elder Zhou comes out of seclusion before taking it."

E Yun was a disciple of Meng Hong, and Meng Hong was a disciple of Zhou Shengqing, making E Yun a fifth-generation disciple of the Five Elements Sect. Even though E Yun's cultivation was higher, he still had to address Ji Guanhai and Luzhu as "Martial Uncle" and "Martial Aunt." Ji Guanhai, a disciple of Nu Jiang, had already failed once before; this second failure meant he would likely never achieve Core Formation. Luzhu was nominally a disciple of Zhou Ye, but everyone in the Five Elements Sect knew she was also Zhou Ye's maid. Luzhu's aptitude was somewhat poor, possessing only a four-attribute spiritual root. Even with Zhou Ye's guidance and the resources from the Earth Meridian, she had only just barely completed Foundation Establishment.

Originally, according to the rules of the Five Elements Sect, someone of Luzhu's aptitude, even if they completed Foundation Establishment, would not be able to exchange for Core Formation spiritual medicine. However, Chen Mobai knew that hope should be left for everyone, so he did not explicitly state this rule. He even publicly declared that any disciple of the Five Elements Sect, regardless of spiritual root aptitude, who could cultivate to the completion of Foundation Establishment and accumulate enough sect contributions, could exchange for Core Formation spiritual medicine. Nevertheless, with Zhou Ye's prestige, even if Chen Mobai hadn't said anything, E Yun wouldn't have withheld the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill from Luzhu.

"What about Wan Dengyong?" Chen Mobai counted, realizing there was still someone outside the Five Elements Sect.

"He was very fortunate and succeeded in Core Formation." When E Yun said this, he looked envious. The abundance of resources Wan Dengyong used for Core Formation made even E Yun, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, feel it was a waste.

"That's good. Now we have a living signboard." Chen Mobai smiled slightly upon hearing this. The appearance of a non-Five Elements Sect Core Formation cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness signified that their sect's Core Formation spiritual medicines were effective. Wan Dengyong's success in Core Formation, achieved by exchanging thousands of years of his own sect's accumulated heritage, would make other forces with hidden treasures trust the Five Elements Sect's integrity even more.

"Sect Leader, after Wan Dengyong achieved Core Formation, an immortal cultivation family named Zhu from Eastern Wu also wants to use their family's heritage to exchange for a Core Formation spiritual medicine. They have a secret spiritual island overseas where they cultivate many thousand-year-old herbs for Foundation Establishment Pills! And there's another Zhang family; they discovered a water mansion ruin in Cloud Dream Lake and transformed it into a third-tier medicinal field, and even have three fourth-tier herbs treasured by their family..."

As expected, E Yun reported good news about many immortal cultivation families from Eastern Wu wishing to use their family resources to exchange for Core Formation spiritual medicine. Chen Mobai immediately authorized E Yun to negotiate.

Many of the main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills were also main ingredients for Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, such as the crucial Jade Marrow Golden Lingzhi. The value of Core Formation spiritual medicine in Eastern Continent had a general price range, as the Morality Sect's Grass Hut occasionally sold them. However, the Five Elements Sect's pills were more effective and scarce, and they could even provide Core Formation spiritual lands. This made it a supplier's market for them, so Chen Mobai instructed E Yun to negotiate according to the standard set by Wang Heshang and Wan Dengyong.

As they talked, Zhuo Ming, having received the news, also arrived. She reported on the operation of the Sky Curtain and Earth Net arrays over the years. These matters required on-site inspection to be clearly understood, so Chen Mobai decided to take Zhuo Ming on a tour of the major immortal cities in the Eastern Wilderness.

"Sect Leader, do you wish to meet the three newly formed Core Formation Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers?" E Yun quickly asked as Chen Mobai was about to leave.

"Has Senior Brother Zhou met them?" Chen Mobai asked.

"Yes, he has."

"Then I won't bother meeting them." If before, Chen Mobai had felt a sense of novelty and satisfaction in nurturing new Core Formation cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, now his mood was quite calm. Including Zhou Ye, Qing Nü, and Yan Shaoyin, the Five Elements Sect now had twenty-two Core Formation cultivators. This number was almost comparable to the three major sects of the Eastern Yi before. It was precisely because of this that Grand Ancestor Baiwu had not stepped out of Golden Crow Immortal City for a long time, not even daring to go to the Eastern Lands, fearing that if he left, no one would oversee the fifth-tier grand array, and the Five Elements Sect would seize his stronghold upon his return. If this was the case for the Sun-Bathing Sea, which had a Nascent Soul expert presiding, there was even less to say for other forces. The Five Elements Sect was now the undisputed leading sect in the Eastern Continent's frontier! Even merchant guilds from the sacred lands of the Eastern Lands had to greet them in advance when conducting business.

After a Five Elements Sect cultivator achieved Core Formation, meeting the Nascent Soul Grand Ancestor served not only to familiarize themselves but also to receive a note from the Grand Ancestor, allowing them to access higher-level cultivation methods and secret scriptures. Since Zhou Shengqing had already met them, Chen Mobai saw no need to do so unnecessarily. Moreover, having recently achieved Core Formation, they were surely busy stabilizing their realms or improving their cultivation methods, so it was better not to disturb them.

When Chen Mobai and his disciple left North Abyss City, they also called for his grand-disciple Song Huangda. Song Huangda, the most skilled in array formations among the third generation of Small Southern Mountain, traveled through all the major immortal cities using the Five Elements Sect's widespread teleportation arrays in the Eastern Wilderness. Song Huangda gained the most from this. His array formation skill was previously just barely third-tier, but after this journey, even in the Immortal Sect, he was a genuine third-tier array master. While inspecting the last Hexa-Armor Immortal City on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau, Song Huangda even broke through a cultivation layer, reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. His aptitude was slightly inferior to Han Zhiling's, possessing only a three-attribute true spiritual root, and he cultivated the Void Dharma Body, so his cultivation progress had always been slow. Han Zhiling was already nearing the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, while he had only just broken through.

"Thank you, Grandmaster and Martial Aunt Zhuo, for your guidance." Song Huangda was still very happy. After stabilizing his rapidly increased spiritual power, he immediately stood up and thanked Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, who were protecting him nearby.

"It's also due to your diligent cultivation and accumulation. If you can achieve Core Formation with the Void Dharma Body in the future, I'll see if I can recommend you to the Supreme Void Ethereal Palace." Chen Mobai had watched Song Huangda cultivate step by step. Although his intentions were not pure at first, after joining Small Southern Mountain, he became the most hardworking and diligent disciple. Coupled with the one hundred million spirit stones he had earned for Chen Mobai, Chen Mobai was willing to give him an opportunity for further advancement.

"This disciple is a person of Small Southern Mountain in life, and a soul of Small Southern Mountain in death!" Song Huangda said with a solemn expression and an impassioned tone. It seemed that the so-called sacred land, the Supreme Void Ethereal Palace, was not as important in his eyes as being a third-generation disciple of Small Southern Mountain.

"Hahaha, you certainly know how to speak. It's up to you if you don't want to go. This is the Void Scripture I compiled. It contains many insights related to the Dao of Void. Read it when you have time." Chen Mobai naturally enjoyed hearing pleasant words. He took out a jade slip of the Void Scripture, which had been edited to remove content that might expose the Immortal Sect, and handed it to Song Huangda, who respectfully accepted it with both hands.

"The sect's Void Dharma Body cultivation method was originally taken from Shaking Mountain Peak; it can only be cultivated up to the Core Formation stage, with no content regarding Nascent Soul formation. However, you are still far from Nascent Soul formation. Since you don't want to go to the Supreme Void Ethereal Palace, practice this for now. I'll see if I can create the Nascent Soul formation mental cultivation method for the Void Dharma Body when the time comes." Chen Mobai spoke with an air of casual ease, as if creating the Nascent Soul formation mental cultivation method for the Void Dharma Body was a very simple matter for him. If he could master the "Crimson Phoenix Facing the Sun Art with Five Tones," he could achieve this. Otherwise, he would only be able to do so after cultivating the method himself and gaining a profound understanding of it, just like how the "Crimson Flame Sword Art" was upgraded to the "Crimson Flame Sword Scripture."

While Song Huangda was overwhelmed with gratitude, a green spiritual light flew from the distant Hexa-Armor Mountain peak. Upon landing, a beautiful female cultivator appeared; it was Yin Qingmei.

"Oh, Qingmei, your cultivation realm is actually nearing a breakthrough!" Chen Mobai saw Yin Qingmei and felt the increasingly dense spiritual power around her, showing a slight surprise.

"Thanks to Mistress's Myriad Transformation Lightning Water, my natal spiritual plant recently advanced to the high-grade third tier, which has accelerated my cultivation of the Azure Emperor Evergreen Scripture and the condensation of spiritual energy," Yin Qingmei said with a joyful expression. Due to her Celestial Spiritual Root, the Five Elements Sect would not assign her various trivial matters unless absolutely necessary, allowing her to focus wholeheartedly on cultivating and breaking through her realm here at Hexa-Armor Mountain. She herself was also diligent, spending most of her time meditating and cultivating under the Jade Green Phoenix Tree, aside from occasionally visiting her friend Luo Yixuan next door. After a hundred years of cultivation, she had mostly explored the Azure Emperor Evergreen Scripture. With the dual overlay of her Celestial Spiritual Root and natal spiritual plant, her cultivation speed had begun to advance by leaps and bounds, and she was now at the threshold of the late-stage Core Formation realm. Chen Mobai calculated that Yin Qingmei had broken through to the mid-stage Core Formation twenty-five years ago. Converted to the Immortal Sect's system, this meant she went from Golden Core fourth layer to peak Golden Core sixth layer. Averaging a breakthrough every eight years or so, she was almost catching up to the prodigies of the Immortal Sect. However, in the Eastern Wilderness, this speed was second only to Chen Mobai. Truly worthy of a Celestial Spiritual Root!

"Excellent, excellent! It's just a pity that Zhou Ye is currently in seclusion in the Primordial Secret Realm. Otherwise, I could send you into the secret realm to comprehend the Primordial Grand Ancestor's Five Elements Dao, which would surely help you break through to late-stage Core Formation." In the past, Qing Nü had benefited greatly in the Primordial Secret Realm, using the Altar of the Nation left by True Monarch Primordial to reflect on her understanding of the Black Emperor Profound Nether Scripture, identifying gaps and making improvements. Chen Mobai had thought about sending Yin Qingmei, who cultivated the Azure Emperor Evergreen Scripture, in to cultivate as well. It was just that there were too many matters in the Immortal Sect, and he only had the opportunity now.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Yin Qingmei was also deeply moved upon hearing this. As a Core Formation cultivator of the sect, she naturally knew about the Primordial Secret Realm, recognizing it as the most fundamental sacred land of inheritance within the Five Elements Sect. If one had outstanding talent, like Grand Ancestor Primordial and Chen Mobai, they could directly receive the inheritance of the Primordial Dao Fruit. Within the Five Elements Sect, apart from Zhou Shengqing, Mo Douguang, and other third-generation disciples, only Qing Nü, the Sect Leader's wife, had entered to comprehend it. Now, Chen Mobai letting her in clearly meant he considered her among his most trusted individuals.

"Ming'er, you and Qingmei can go in together when the time comes. Also ask Wenbai, Xuan'er, Zongheng, and the others; if they have time, they can go as well." At this moment, Chen Mobai's words caused the smile on Yin Qingmei's face to stiffen slightly. However, she quickly convinced herself that this meant her status in Chen Mobai's heart was on par with his direct disciples.

After strolling around Hexa-Armor Immortal City, a model new city, Chen Mobai, satisfied, took Zhuo Ming and Song Huangda to see the Boundless Sand Sea. Compared to their previous visit, the greenbelt here had advanced a considerable distance into the vast yellow sands. Zhuo Ming now dedicated most of her time here, as the Sky Curtain and Earth Net Grand Array, once fully formed, operated automatically and rarely encountered problems.

On their return journey, they passed by Luo Yixuan's Cold Essence Lake, but unfortunately, she wasn't there. She had gone to the remnants of the Flipping Sea Gate in the Eastern Yi region.

Chen Mobai then took the teleportation array back to Giant Wood Ridge. He gave ten fully charged supreme-grade spirit stones to Fu Zongjue as initial resources for his research and development of the Evergreen Wood Dragon, which greatly pleased the latter. The two martial brothers talked through the night, mainly with Fu Zongjue detailing the various difficulties he encountered while crafting the Evergreen Wood Dragon. Although he had completed the repair of the little Green Dragon left by Grand Ancestor Primordial, providing a complete sample, creating a new one inherently presented more challenges than repairing an existing one. After Fu Zongjue led the elite disciples of the Five Elements Sect's Puppet Department in the creation process, he realized his knowledge reserves were somewhat insufficient. Fortunately, Chen Mobai had arrived. His puppet arts, which integrated the essence of both worlds and were at the Nascent Soul stage, far surpassed Fu Zongjue's. Many problems that Fu Zongjue couldn't solve, Chen Mobai could approach from multiple perspectives based on his vision and experience. After one night, Fu Zongjue continued talking with Chen Mobai for another day, finally discussing all the challenges he encountered while refining the Evergreen Wood Dragon. Afterwards, Fu Zongjue did not rest but excitedly led the disciples of the Puppet Department to verify the solutions Chen Mobai had proposed.

Meanwhile, Chen Mobai took this opportunity to visit the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After performing the Devouring Spirit Art as usual, he sighed slightly as he opened his eyes. After his divine sense broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the wandering spiritual consciousness of the Grand Dao Tree was now of minimal use to him. However, every little bit helps; it was at least faster than the speed of his own diligent cultivation, so Chen Mobai continued to absorb it using the Devouring Spirit Art.

Before leaving, he took out an Incorporeal Puppet and entered the void within the Grand Dao Tree, arriving before the Celestial Venerable Dao Fruit. Having obtained Grand Elder Yun Ya's notes, he was no longer confused about the realms beyond Spirit Transformation. This time, he mainly wanted to observe and understand what realm this Celestial Venerable actually represented. Unfortunately, Chen Mobai's own realm was still too low; he couldn't discern the tier of this Celestial Venerable Dao Fruit, only feeling that it was in no way inferior compared to the Dan Ding Jade Tree inherited by the Artificing Dao Academy. However, to determine which was superior, he would likely need to refine both the Celestial Venerable Dao Fruit and the Dan Ding Jade Tree. Thinking this, Chen Mobai left this Incorporeal Puppet here to guard the Celestial Venerable Dao Fruit, and he himself departed the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother Zhou sent news that Zhou Ye at Primordial Immortal City seems to be on the verge of success!" As soon as Chen Mobai emerged from seclusion, he saw Fu Zongjue waiting in his Evergreen Wood Dao Field, relaying this message.

Zhou Ye is about to form his Nascent Soul!? Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn't delay and immediately headed to the teleportation array at Giant Wood Ridge. Forming a Nascent Soul was the pinnacle of cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness, so Fu Zongjue also wanted to go and observe. Chen Mobai naturally didn't forget to bring Zhuo Ming and Song Huangda along.

Amidst flashing silver light, they arrived at Primordial Immortal City via the teleportation array. As soon as they stepped out, they saw dark clouds covering the sky. Various colorful bolts of lightning, flames, frost, wind vortices, and other manifestations of heavenly tribulation appeared consecutively. However, they seemed to be brewing for now, not yet striking the spiritual vein core where the immortal city was located. Seeing this, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of the heavenly tribulation meant that Zhou Ye had shattered his core and birthed his Nascent Soul. However, upon further thought, if Zhou Ye couldn't succeed, Chen Mobai wondered who else in the Eastern Continent could. Zhou Ye possessed an Infant Nurturing Pill and a Nascent Soul Condensation Pill, was a Heavenly Earth spiritual root, and his Primordial True Qi was equivalent to an Infant Transformation Pill. His resources were almost comparable to Chen Mobai's when he formed his Nascent Soul. If he failed to form his Nascent Soul under such conditions, he might as well just commit suicide.

"Junior Brother, you're here too!" Two magnificent spiritual lights shone brightly, landing in front of Chen Mobai. It was Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang. Mo Douguang happened to be overseeing a batch of goods being transported by the Five Elements Merchant Guild from the Eastern Lands to the Eastern Wilderness and had just returned. Upon encountering Zhou Ye's Nascent Soul formation tribulation, he simply followed Zhou Shengqing to observe. Although they had not been on good terms with Zhou Ye before, they were now elders of the Five Elements Sect and fellow martial brothers from the same lineage, so they were willing to come and provide protection.

"Zhou Ye has such good luck. Back when I formed my Nascent Soul, it was like being surrounded by wolves..." Zhou Shengqing couldn't help but sigh, looking at the tribulation in the sky.

"This is also due to our collective efforts and the sect's strength!" Chen Mobai interjected, causing Zhou Shengqing to feel a sense of pride. At this moment, another spiritual light flew out from the teleportation array; it was Zhou Wangshen. Seeing the three Nascent Soul Grand Ancestors standing together, he immediately came to pay his respects. Chen Mobai saw him and remembered the matter of the Five Elements Essence he had tasked him with. Just as he was about to ask, suddenly, the power of void vibrated!

A tall figure enveloped in five-colored light stepped out from the Primordial Secret Realm, holding a heavy hammer, and shot into the sky. With a booming sound, the heavenly tribulation struck! Zhou Ye, unfazed, raised the heavy hammer in his hand and shattered the tribulation lightning that descended upon him. Amidst the loud rumbling, Chen Mobai saw that Zhou Ye seemed to be using the power of the heavenly tribulation to refine his magic artifact, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
