Chapter 1970: Chapter 958: Apocalypse Great Mill (Part 4)
But thinking about these things now is of no use. What Chen Mobai can do is to cultivate step by step, striving to reach a realm capable of changing the great calamity before the Demon Lord emerges.
With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai closed his eyes to feel his external incarnation.
Although his consciousness was drawn to the deepest part of the Earth Element Star during Wenda, the cultivation of this Thousand Swords Dharma Body did not halt.
Under the Rank-5 spiritual energy within the domain, it has already formed a complete skin membrane, no longer exposing internal organs and bones as before. Of course, these membranes are merely superficial; to truly master it, one must ascend to the Nine Heavens and condense boundless pure energy.
If he could refine the Heaven and Earth Placenta, he wondered if the Heavenly Garment Realm could directly be achieved.
This idea suddenly appeared in Chen Mobai’s mind.
The Heaven and Earth Placenta is the most essential Tian Gang Atmosphere of a planet.
It seems plausible!
It’s just a pity that the one on Dragon God Star was refined by Qi Yuheng, and who knows when the next war to open it up will occur?
After lamenting, Chen Mobai looked at the stark naked Thousand Swords Dharma Body within the domain, pondering that facing an opponent this way seemed indecent!
After some thought, he transformed the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo into a set of multicolored fairy garments, which fell onto the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.
After experimenting with various styles of the Immortal Gate and determining the attire for different opponents, Chen Mobai was satisfied and retracted both the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.
Calculating the time, it’s almost the Beidou Conference.
Fortunately, this time Immortal Spirit Roots Wenda didn’t delay this matter.
As Chen Mobai was thinking about leaving seclusion, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
What benefit did he gain from this Immortal Spirit Roots Wenda?
Even Lin Daoming could attain a Spiritual Pivot of All Phenomena, what about him?
It couldn’t be just getting a close look at the Apocalypse Great Mill, right?
If so, wouldn’t that be a huge loss!
Chen Mobai instantly felt that the fragmented time he spent over nearly a hundred years on the Earth Gathering Art wasn’t worthwhile.
However, he was somewhat unwilling to accept this fate, so he sat upright in the Cultivation Room, letting his Nascent Soul operate, starting to inspect his entire body, thinking he might have missed something.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his complexion slightly better.
It wasn’t without gain; aside from having his heart and mind enter the depths of the Earth Element Star and seeing the Apocalypse Great Mill, he also obtained a strand of Innate Earth Essence Qi from this Immortal Earth Spiritual Root Wenda.
This should be the minimum gain, which at least allows him to cultivate the orthodox Primordial Dao Fruit.
But for him, this is just barely better than nothing.
Besides this, there’s another thing that concerns him.
That is, just now, when he sat upright with closed eyes, recalling the Immortal Earth Spiritual Root Wenda, the image of the Apocalypse Great Mill he wanted to forget suddenly became clear in his mind.
Although the supreme Demon Path on the three thousand faces remains unreadable and unforgettable, this experience seems to have been deeply engraved in his heart and mind, merely awaiting the day it turns into reality when the opportunity arises.
This fact puts enormous pressure on Chen Mobai, who is merely in the Nascent Soul realm.
He even considered whether to tell Qian Xing about this incident, for on the Earth Element Star, Qian Xing has the highest cultivation level and the broadest insight, perhaps having a solution.
But Chen Mobai was also afraid that if Qian Xing knew about this, he might, to prevent future calamities, resolve it by eliminating him.
After all, Yu Baiguang is no longer around, and if Qian Xing acts, no one can stop him.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai decided to bear it by himself for now.
If there’s absolutely no way, then he’ll come clean.
Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai knocked a few times on the Morning Bell in the Cultivation Room, completely calming his heart and mind.
After spending a few days post-seclusion with Shi Wanyu and Chen Xiaohei, mother and daughter, Chen Mobai also went to work at the Hall of Orthodox Law, dealing with his accumulated clerical work.
He then chose to go into seclusion again, citing progress in the Sword Dao as the reason.
This was nothing unusual in the Immortal Gate.
Among the Three Great Halls, only the Head of Immortal Affairs needs to be diligent due to a special role. The others, like the Orthodox Law Hall Master and the Kaiyuan Hall Master, not being seen for long periods is normal.
After returning to the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai met Qing Nu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
The couple sat in the courtyard of Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, drinking tea and talking about the past years, while the well-trained little Yellow Dragon Girl brewed tea using Rank-4 Spiritual Water.
“This time, luck was on our side; otherwise, we might have missed the Beidou Conference.”
Qing Nu spoke. She had been in seclusion for quite a while this time, and after consuming the elixir compounded from the inner core of the Poisonous Dragon patriarch, her cultivation level rose to the peak of the Core Formation Middle Stage.
If she hadn’t wanted to stabilize her realm, she could have used the elixir to break through directly.
“Calculating the time, it’s about right. Tomorrow, we should gather the good things from the Cave Dwelling and go to Northern Abyss City to meet Senior Brother Mo and others.”
Chen Mobai did not tell Qing Nu about seeing the Apocalypse Great Mill in his Immortal Earth Spiritual Root Wenda.
“Hmm, I’ve also refined some precious elixirs over the years. By the standards here, they are all superior grade; I hope to exchange them for a portion of Three Lights Divine Water.”
The elixirs Qing Nu regarded as precious were certainly of Rank-4 quality.
They were experimental products in which she used herbs from the Tianhe realm to improve the dan recipes of the Immortal Gate, with some negligible Dan Poison, which she didn’t put on the shelves of Danxia Pavilion and Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
These would probably be contested by the Nascent Soul cultivators at the Beidou Conference.
Seeing the several types of elixirs Qing Nu presented, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but nod in approval.
With these, coupled with the precious spirit plant materials prepared by Xiao Nanshan and the Five Elements Sect, securing a portion of Three Lights Divine Water should be feasible.
However, Three Lights Divine Water isn’t always something that can be obtained through equivalent trade; it also depends on the preference of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
Chen Mobai could only hope that the Star Heaven Dao Sect would grant him this favor.
After organizing the valuable items they had, the two of them left the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion the next day via a medium-sized Teleportation Array.
They first went to Giant Tree Ridge, where Qing Nu and Zhuo Ming were picking precious spiritual objects, while Chen Mobai, as usual, went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to absorb the wandering spiritual senses of the Great Dao Tree using the Devour God Technique.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he never slackened any time that could improve himself, even marginally.
“Junior Brother Chen, this is the first Everlife Wood Dragon I crafted. You may encounter a rogue cultivator on this trip, so this might help you conserve some spiritual power.”
Fu Zongjue, after learning about Chen Mobai’s arrival, gave him a culmination of his achievements over the years.
This Everlife Wood Dragon, as a Rank-4 puppet, in Chen Mobai’s hands, could hold its own against slightly weaker Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, given Chen Mobai’s numerous techniques, after a trial of refining the puppet, he gave it to Qing Nu.
Once all three reached Northern Abyss City, Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye were already waiting there.
“Greetings, Sect Leader Junior Brother!”
Upon seeing Chen Mobai, the two cordially saluted.
That Zhou Ye wanted to attend the Beidou Conference this time was no surprise to Chen Mobai.
Accompanying Mo Douguang were Ning Leshan and Ban Zhaodan, while Zhou Ye brought Green Pearl and Zhou Wangshen.
