Chapter 961 The Secret of Ascension
"After I left Huoyun Palace, I also went to Daode Sect. Regarding that matter, Sect Leader Shenxi made sure that he had not communicated with Hongyun."
Xingji said that the alliance led by Huoyun Palace against the Five Elements Sect was instigated by the Daode Sect, but according to Ye Qing's investigation, this was not the case.
"I must have misunderstood. Master Xingji didn't mention Daode Sect by name."
Chen Mobai thought back to his conversation with Xing Ji. The latter merely guided him to think in the direction of the Daode Sect. He couldn't help but sigh that the old fox's words were truly flawless.
Ye Qing also revealed another thing. When he went to Daode Sect this time, he happened to meet Master Wuchen who had come out of retreat. The latter had made a furnace of elixirs that could restore youth.
With this, his master and True Lord Wuchen will be able to extend their lifespan by several decades and stay in the Tianhe Realm for a longer period of time.
"It seems that both of you seniors can ascend to heaven at any time."
After listening to Ye Qing's words, Chen Mobai immediately understood what he meant.
The lifespan of a spirit-transforming cultivator is only about two thousand years, and True Lord Xuantian achieved enlightenment one thousand five hundred years ago. Logically speaking, this has already reached the limit of his lifespan.
However, given Xuan Tian Zhen Jun's status and position, he must have taken a lot of longevity pills. For example, the fifth-level immortal tea Shou Mei of Daode Sect can increase one's lifespan by 360 years.
However, Master Xuantian's life span has already exceeded two thousand years. If there is no new longevity elixir, then in order to survive, he will have to consider breaking through the realm and ascending.
"My master could have tried to ascend long ago, but his earthly ties were not over yet. In addition, our sect has not yet had the next incarnation of a deity, so he has remained in the human world. As for Senior Wuchen, he is still a little short of that."
Ye Qing spoke the truth, and when Chen Mobai heard him talking about Fei Sheng, he continued asking questions.
He has been curious about the ascension of the Tianhe Realm for a long time.
"There are two ways to ascend in this world. One is to wait until the Immortal Palace is opened, and use the pure and spiritual immortal essence of the Immortal Platform to cleanse the earthly aura, transform into an immortal body and ascend. The other is to break through to the realm of Lianxu, forcibly break through the void and ascend."
“But to break through the void and reach the spiritual void fairyland, one still needs to go through the nine layers of heavenly tribulation. Even a weaker cultivator cannot survive this.”
“However, when the Ghost Mother descended on the human world, in order to prevent the true immortals from the Lingkong Immortal Realm from descending, she had buried the Immortal Palace and the Ascension Platform into the netherworld. Therefore, if the Divine Transformation cultivators from the Tianhe Realm want to ascend now, they have only one way, which is to break through the void.”
Ye Qing did not hide anything from Chen Mobai and told him the secrets that only the major holy places knew.
"After the calamity of the Ghost Mother, didn't any senior sages go to the netherworld to bring the Immortal Palace and the Ascension Platform back to the human world?"
After hearing this, Chen Mobai thought of the great Master Hunyuan who had forced his way into the Yellow Springs Road, and wondered if he wanted to do just this thing.
"Of course there are, but in the deepest part of the Netherworld, there are the remnant souls of the Ghost Mother and many powerful ghosts and gods. When the Yang world cultivators arrive there, they can only exert 30% to 40% of their strength because of the environment."
"There was a cultivator from Zhongzhou who was about to ascend to heaven who went into the netherworld and wanted to bring back the Ascension Platform, but he never came back."
“At this point, the Divine Transformation cultivators in the Tianhe Realm who have reached the end of their lifespans and are unable to break through the void will also try to break into the depths of the netherworld to find the Ascension Platform.”
When Chen Mobai heard this, he was greatly surprised.
I didn't expect that the underworld is so dangerous. Thinking about it this way, Luo Yixuan was so lucky to be brought in and come back alive.
But it may also be because I haven’t delved into it deeply enough.
If you think about it this way, the Yellow Springs Road sealed by Patriarch Hunyuan may become a path to ascension in the future.
While Ye Qing was still there, Chen Mobai asked more questions about the Lingkong Fairyland.
"The Lingkong Immortal Realm is just above the Tianhe Realm. After passing through the Nine Heavenly Gangs and the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, one can ascend to it. Dengxiantai is a shortcut. You can think of it as a teleportation array from the Tianhe Realm to the Lingkong Immortal Realm. However, Dengxiantai was originally left by Taixu Zhenwang for the cultivators of this world."
Ye Qing told another secret, and after hearing it, Chen Mobai couldn't help but look up to Taixu Piaomiao Palace even more.
It is worthy of being a super power with holy places in the five continents of Tianhe.
"Since Lianxu cultivators can break through the void and ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm, then why can't the True Immortals of the Lingkong Immortal Realm come down directly, and why do they need to go through the Immortal Ascension Platform?"
Chen Mobai thought of this problem again.
"Thirty thousand years ago, an extraterritorial supreme demon descended upon the Tianhe Realm. He was able to split into thousands of inner demons and possess cultivators, causing an extremely terrifying demonic calamity. In the end, one of the inner demon clones of this supreme demon ascended to the Lingkong Immortal Realm and was noticed by the powerful beings in the upper realm."
"When the True Immortal descended to the mortal world, he discovered that all the major sects had the inner demon incarnation of the True Demon. No matter how many cultivators were killed, his true body could not be found. The incarnation of the Demon Sect in the Demonic Path is the inheritance of this supreme True Demon."
“In the end, it was several Dao Lords from the Lingkong Immortal Realm who joined forces to perform the Tongtian Great Method, changing the laws of the Tianhe Realm and forcing all the creatures above the Divine Transformation Realm to ascend and leave this realm, and only then was this Supreme True Demon forced out.”
“If you want to get through the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and the Nine Heavenly Gangs descending upon the Tianhe Realm, you must use the power of the Lianxu Realm. Once your Lianxu nature is exposed, you will be detected by the laws of the Tianhe Realm and forced to ascend.”
After Ye Qing said this, Chen Mobai's face suddenly became clear.
That's what happened.
"That is to say, the highest level in this world is the Perfect Spiritualization, and there is no such thing as the Void Training Level."
Chen Mobai asked again, in this way, if he really offended some holy land in the future, he could also pull Qianxing and others from the Immortal Sect over, and he wouldn't have to be so timid.
“That’s the theory.”
But Ye Qing said this, and Chen Mobai was shocked after hearing it.
"The several major holy places in Zhongzhou, the Tianhai Jellyfish Palace and other super powers are all able to communicate with the upper world. The rules of this world were also changed by the ancestors of these families. Maybe there are some hidden means."
Well, let's just keep going step by step.
After listening to this, Chen Mobai decided to keep his original intention.
"Does your clan have the foundation to reach the level of a god?"
In the end, Chen Mobai couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Ye Qing just smiled and said nothing more.
Chen Mobai was also tactful and didn't ask any further questions.
At this time, Qingnv also told Yuan Zhen the methods and contraindications of taking the infant-raising pill, and Chen Mobai said goodbye.
"Master Chen, the great war between good and evil has begun, and the Yiyuan Dao Palace will also come out. What are your plans when the time comes?"
Before leaving, Ye Qing asked a question.
"You also know that I am a fake. With what identity can I participate in the war?"
"What if Yiyuan Dao Palace recognizes you?"
Ye Qing's question made Chen Mobai hesitate.
If anyone else said this, he would definitely not believe it, but Ye Qing's words might actually be able to make the Yiyuan Dao Palace bow their heads and let them recognize him as the fake Son of God.
He certainly doesn't want to get involved in this mess. After all, with his strength, his Nascent Soul is invincible and he will definitely stand out on the battlefield. When the time comes, he will kill all the demon Nascent Souls, which will surely attract the attention of Ming Zun, who holds an extremely strong grudge against the Yiyuan Dao Palace.
Chen Mobai was still very respectful of the God of Transformation and knew that it was impossible to defeat him.
So we need to find an excuse to keep Yiyuan Dao Palace away from us!
"If they are willing to let me refine the Dao Fruit, I may be able to help them restore the reputation of the Yiyuan Dao Palace!"
In the end, Chen Mobai still didn't believe that the Yiyuan Taoist Palace would allow him, an outsider, to refine the Taoist fruit left by Yiyuan Taoist Lord.
"With my master and True Lord Wuchen guarding the border of the East, the demon sect will definitely not be able to break through. We are afraid that they will take a detour through the sea. If the demon sect and the demon clan royal court join forces, the two major gates of Dongwu and Dongyi will bear the brunt. My master's idea is that if such a situation really happens and our several major holy places are unable to take care of it, we will let Xingtian Dao Sect guard Xuanhai and your sect rush to help Dongwu."
Dongwu borders the Huanghai, and Dongyi borders the Xuanhai!
Xuanhai has the Xuanjiao Royal Court, which is even more powerful than the Holy Land.
On the other side of the desolate sea, there is no demon royal court, but there are also many powerful demons. However, the overall strength is definitely not as good as that of the Black Dragon Royal Court.
Chen Mobai certainly could not refuse this arrangement from the Holy Land, after all, he still had to stay in Dongzhou.
"I will handle it!"
But in this case, Chen Mobai seemed to understand why Xing Ji wanted him to take over the Jinwu Immortal City.
If the Five Elements Sect occupied the territory of the Bathing Sun Sea, they would definitely have to fight to the death when they encountered the Black Dragon King's Court, and the Star Sky Sect would also have an excuse not to come.
After all, on the border battlefield of the East Land, although they have to face off against the army of demons, they have the holy land to support them. As long as they, the Xingtian Dao Sect, are careful and rely on the eight Nascent Souls, the demons will definitely not fight them to the death.
But if the Dongyi came, things would be different.
Faced head-on against the Black Dragon King's Court, once the old dragon in the Spiritual Transformation Realm makes a move, even with the protection of a fifth-order formation, life and death will be out of their control.
Old man Xingji is so insidious!
After Chen Mobai understood, the little good impression he had towards Xingji disappeared instantly.
But after all, we are still doing business with them, so I'll just keep this account in mind first.
After returning to the courtyard of the Five Elements Sect, Chen Mobai called Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye over.
After telling the information he had just obtained in the room, Mo Douguan didn't have that complicated mind. He just said that he would follow the arrangements of the master junior brother.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
However, Chen Mobai knew that Zhou Ye was also a talented person who could handle things on his own. Moreover, the sect had originally planned that after Zhou Ye had his infant child, he would go to take charge of the territory of Dongyi.
"We need to make plans early for this matter. If the Black Dragon King's Court really wants to land in Dongyi, our sect is not strong enough. We must be prepared to destroy the teleportation array and retreat to the Eastern Wasteland."
Zhou Ye, however, expressed his idea of losing the land but saving the people without any hesitation.
"If we don't resist and just retreat, I won't be able to explain to the Holy Land after the war between good and evil ends. Let's put it this way. If the Dongyi really start a war, we, as neighbors, still need to support Yu Ri Hai. If they can't hold on any longer, let the disciples of Ming Jing Shan retreat."
"When the war begins, pack up all the sect's resources in Dongyi and immediately transfer them to Donghuang. Jinwu Immortal City has a fifth-order formation. Even if we encounter a being at the Spiritualization Realm, we can still buy some time."
“If Xingtian Dao Sect comes to take over Jinwu Immortal City, Senior Brother Zhou, you can personally lead the sect’s cultivators in Dongyi to provide support. If it’s still Yuri Sea, you can just hire a group of independent cultivators to go over there to show your support.”
Although Chen Mobai's words were not made clear, Zhou Ye understood them and nodded immediately.
"With the war imminent, the prices of various magical instruments, talismans, and elixirs will surely soar. Taking advantage of this Big Dipper Conference, tell the disciples below not to be stingy with their spirit stones and make some purchases."
Chen Mobai said this to Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye again. After they went out, except for E Yun and others, even the two Yuanyings of the two of them went for a walk.
Chen Mobai is equipped with top-notch magical weapons, and only fifth-level ones can catch his eye, but Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye are not as wealthy as him.
Both of them had only been in the infant stage for a short time, and they even only had one fourth-level magic weapon.
Before the Big Dipper Conference began, many Nascent Soul cultivators also organized some private trade fairs. Although the Five Elements Sect had no connections, it was well-known, and the Xingtian Dao Sect even took the initiative to help with introductions.
Chen Mobai was too lazy to go, so he gave the invitation to Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye.
After coming back, both of them looked rather solemn.
After asking, I found out that the prices of things at the trade fair were more than twice as expensive as the market price in the East.
"Some people did not participate in the Beidou Conference after getting what they needed. They just left. Senior Brother Mo got a sword cultivation method from a major sect in Xizhou. There was also a Yuanying cultivator from the Daode Sect at the trade fair. I got a set of Tianyang Fire Liquid and Lingbing Mysterious Liquid. I hope Luzhu can successfully form a pill."
Zhou Ye said with emotion that he originally thought he was already very rich, but when he arrived at the trade fair, he found out that he was the poorest.
Fortunately, what he wanted to exchange were only the elixirs for forming the elixir of life, which were easy to come by for Nascent Soul cultivators, especially the alchemists of the Daode Sect.
"By the way, Master Junior Brother, no one at the trade fair has the White Lithic Crystal and Nine Yang True Fire Stone that you asked us to ask about. It's also possible that they are not available in the circle we are participating in. There will be another trade fair tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we will go and take a look then."
Although Chen Mobai did not go, he still asked Mo Douguan and the others to pay attention to the things he needed.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Time soon arrived and the day of the Beidou Conference arrived.
Although the trading method was very primitive, Chen Mobai and Qingnu still enjoyed the tour very much, especially Qingnu, who saw many precious medicinal materials that were not available in Eastern Wilderness.
She now had a large amount of spirit stones on her, and she offered prices for all the ones she liked.
Zhuo Ming also found the skills behind the Jiuren Body in the earth-attributed stone city district. This was actually the highest-level item. After Zhuo Ming quoted the price, he waited anxiously for a response.
Mo Douguan also offered prices for all the gold-attribute related sword cultivation methods.
Most of those who could come to the Big Dipper Conference were at the Nascent Soul and Core Formation stages, so the techniques they put on display could at least be cultivated to the Core Formation stage, and a small number could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. And there were only a handful of one or two techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Mobai carefully selected ten five-element exercises that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, exactly two for each attribute, and planned to take them back to expand the library of the Five Elements Sect.
But the price is really expensive. The starting price for the Nascent Soul Technique is one thousand high-quality spirit stones.
And to be able to cultivate to the great perfection of Nascent Soul stage, one actually needs 10,000 high-quality spirit stones.
All the ones Chen Mobai chose were the cheapest, costing one thousand high-quality spirit stones.
Zhuo Ming's Nine-Ren Dharma Body, which can be cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, requires a starting price of three thousand high-grade spirit stones. She just happened to have saved this much over the years, and when Chen Mobai found out, he supported this precious disciple with two thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Anyway, if this kind of thing is gone, you can earn some money, but if you miss the skill, you don’t know if you will have it next time.
Just with these skills, Chen Mobai almost emptied out all the spirit stones he had.
Not only him, but also Mo Douguan. The gold attribute is the method of sword cultivation. At the Beidou Conference, the highest level is a method that can be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage. It is said to be the method of the Eastern Imperial Court, named "Emperor Sword Dao". It was originally able to be cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Naturally, what is displayed now is incomplete.
Mo Douguan didn't have enough spirit stones on him, so he went to Chen Mobai for help.
Chen Mobai helped Mo Douguan to advance the salary that the sect would give him in the next hundred years, and overdrew by 10,000 high-quality spirit stones.
After Zhou Ye knew about this, he also wanted to do the same. He had his eyes on a fourth-grade mid-quality defensive magic weapon, but he did not have enough spirit stones on him.
"Brother Zhou, what kind of defensive magic weapon do you want? Tell me your request and I'll give you a list of materials. Go collect them and I'll personally help you refine it."
However, Chen Mobai felt that this money could not be earned outside. He could refine a mere fourth-tier magic weapon with his eyes closed using the Tushita Fire.
"Thank you, Master Junior Brother!"
After hearing this, Zhou Ye also looked happy.
When he went to the trade fair with Mo Douguan before, he heard the latter say that after he formed his infant, his innate Longevity Sword was refined by Chen Mobai and now it has become a fourth-grade top-quality sword.
Zhou Ye was still wondering why he didn't get this kind of treatment when he was forming a baby. Could it be that he was treated differently? So today he used this method to remind Chen Mobai.
As expected, the master is still fair and just. He must have been too busy to remember it before.
In the Tianhe Realm, the price of defensive magic weapons is much higher than that of offensive and functional magic weapons. After Zhou Ye knew that Chen Mobai was going to help him refine them, he immediately stated the request he had thought of long ago.
After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he still felt a little uneasy, wondering if he was being too greedy.
"Are these the requirements? Aren't they too brief?" After hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned, indicating that his requirements were too broad and needed to be more specific and detailed.
"what?"
Zhou Ye didn't quite understand, so Chen Mobai took out a form and asked questions one by one about the dozens of items that needed to be filled out when the Immortal Sect ordered the magic weapon.
"I have a rough idea in my mind. Senior Brother Zhou probably doesn't have enough spirit stones on him. I will also advance your contribution to the sect for the next fifty years."
After Chen Mobai summarized Zhou Ye's requirements, he already had a prototype of a magic weapon in his mind, and then he wrote a very specific list of materials for him.
This time when he went out to attend the Beidou Conference, Chen Mobai asked E Yun to withdraw all the liquid funds that could be mobilized from the Five Elements Sect's account.
There are probably tens of billions, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of high-quality spirit stones.
I can only say that the family business is still a little thin.
You will need to continue to make money in the future.
Just as Chen Mobai was sighing, the Beidou Conference also began the exhibition of the finale items.
The first one bored him, as it was actually a fourth-grade, top-quality formation.
This formation was the work of the Xuanfa Sect, a major formation sect in the East. If it encountered a suitable fifth-level spiritual vein, it could even exert the power of the fifth level.
No matter which Nascent Soul sect gets it, it can be used as a mountain protection formation.
The Xuanfa Sect used this formation to exchange for the Three Lights Divine Water, and it is now being taken out by the Xingtian Dao Sect as the first and finale item of the Beidou Conference.
Then the second item aroused Chen Mobai's interest. It was actually a fifth-level golden grass.
This item is a supreme treasure for sword cultivators and can be used to refine their own natal flying sword. Once a sword cultivator used a fourth-grade top-grade sword to refine a fifth-grade golden grass, it actually gained spirituality and upgraded to a fifth-grade flying sword.
When Mo Douguan saw the golden grass, he was also jealous and went to Chen Mobai again to overdraw his contribution to the sect.
Chen Mobai thought about it and decided not to refuse, but he only gave another 10,000 high-quality spirit stones.
The third item was a pitch-black bead named Yellow Spring Bead. It was not considered a magical weapon, but it attracted representatives from the holy land such as Ye Qingqi and Jiansu.
Chen Mobai asked Master Xing Xuan who was entertaining him in the hall, and the latter told him that there was a crack leading to the underworld in the Yellow Spring Pearl, and anyone who refined the pearl could enter the depths of the underworld.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators present were puzzled by this. They didn't know why the Yellow Spring Pearl could attract people from the Holy Land.
But since Ye Qing has shown up, it must be a treasure.
Therefore, some Nascent Soul cultivators also quoted prices out of curiosity.
"Brother Zhou, do you still have the talisman that Master Hunyuan left behind that can sense the Yellow Springs Road?"
After looking at today's finale item, Chen Mobai brought the Five Elements Sect monks back to his own courtyard, then pulled Zhou Ye into the room and asked a question.
"Yes, this is it. Do you want it, Master Junior Brother?"
After hearing this, although Zhou Ye was confused, he did not hesitate at all. He directly took out a palm-sized rectangular talisman with five-colored colors from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai.
"The ghosts in Huangquan Road are also a great disaster for our human world. If they rush out in the future during a war, it will be a great disaster for our sect. I remembered this when I saw the Huangquan Pearl today. After I go back, I will see if I can use it to sense the seal and reinforce it again."
Chen Mobai did not tell Zhou Ye about the Ascension Platform, after all, it was too far away from their Five Elements Sect. If the Nascent Soul cultivator knew that there was such a shortcut to ascend, it would be very likely that his Tao heart would be unstable.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Junior Brother. If you need me in any way, please let me know."
While Zhou Ye was speaking, he also told Chen Mobai the method of using this talisman, which was taught to him by Master Hunyuan before his death.
The main thing is that it requires Hunyuan Qi to start.
Chen Mobai tested it and after confirming that there was no problem, he went to visit the neighbor next door.
"The Yellow Spring Pearl was left behind by the Ghost Mother. It was originally intended to allow the demon cultivators to open up a passage to the underworld at any time, allowing ghosts and gods to descend to the human world."
"After the Ghost Mother died, the ghosts and gods of the Netherworld did not dare to descend openly. However, it is a hidden danger after all, so once we encounter such a thing, our major holy places will come forward to recover it."
"Of course, part of the reason is also because of ascending to the Immortal Terrace."
Ye Qing told Chen Mobai the truth.
Many spiritual masters always carry a Yellow Spring Pearl with them, so that when their lifespan is almost over and they are unable to practice the Void Realm, they can venture into the Netherworld and Yellow Spring. If they are lucky, they might find the platform to ascend to immortality.
After all, over the years, although none of the psychic monks who entered the underworld have returned, and some of their soul tablets have been broken, there are still a handful of soul lamps that are still lit, indicating that they are still alive.
Although it is also possible that he transformed into a ghost cultivator, what if he found the immortal platform and ascended to heaven?
Therefore, the incarnation cultivators in the Tianhe Realm would try to snatch the Yellow Spring Pearl if they came across it.
"Is Saint Yuan not here today?"
Seeing that he and Ye Qing had been chatting for such a long time but Yuan Zhen didn't show up, Chen Mobai couldn't help but ask. You know, the few times he came to visit before, Yuan Zhen was very enthusiastic.
"I participated in a trade fair hosted by the Taixu Piaomiao Palace last night and helped her exchange a pill for the Infant Condensation Pill. The Xingtian Dao Sect's Three Lights Divine Water was also given to her a long time ago. With your Infant Nurturing Pill, she can't wait to return to the Tongtian Peak of the sect to prepare for the final infant formation."
After hearing Ye Qing's words, Chen Mobai immediately wished Yuan Zhen success in conceiving a baby.
"Is the person from Taixu Piaomiao Palace Zhang Pankong Daoist?"
Chen Mobai asked again. Thanks to Ye Qing's relationship, he also had a good relationship with Zhang Pankong. The Five Elements Sect could develop at a rapid speed thanks to the teleportation array that the latter helped to build.
"Yes, he came when the Big Dipper Conference started. He also brought some Nascent Soul cultivators from other continents. There are many natural treasures that are not available in Dongzhou, which can be exchanged at the trade fair he presided over."
When Chen Mobai heard this, he immediately became interested.
"I have a powerful magical weapon to refine, and I'm still short of two fifth-level materials. I wonder if Brother Ye can help me find out..."
After listening to Baili Tianjing and Jiuyang True Fire Stone, Ye Qing thought for a moment.
"The Fire Cloud Palace seems to have this thing. They inherited the greatest heritage of the Burning Heaven Pure Land. It's a pity that Hongyun must be displeased with the two of us now. He will sell this thing to anyone, but he will definitely not give it to us."
As soon as Ye Qing said this, Chen Mobai immediately thought of another person.
"Could you please ask Brother Zhang Pankong to help mediate, or come forward on my behalf?"
After hearing this, Ye Qing thought it was feasible, so he immediately took out Zhang Pankong's message talisman and informed him of the matter.
After a while, Zhang Pankong actually came over in person out of respect.
