Chapter 2991 - 1402
Purple Cloud Palace.
Chen Mobai sat in meditation before the hall, surrounded by Saintly Virtue Pure Light surging like tides, enveloping the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo suspended in mid-air.
The sword embryo buzzed and trembled, with strands of ice-blue Dao Patterns appearing on its surface. Combined with the Saintly Virtue Pure Light, it started to cover the purified and transparent Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber beside it.
As time passed, the saber gradually vanished, transforming into an ice-blue stream of light and completely merging into the sword embryo.
After the refinement, the sword embryo continued to tremble, its aura rising rapidly, seemingly about to break through the shackles and ascend to Rank-6.
Chen Mobai immediately pointed his finger to suppress it with Saintly Virtue Pure Light, then activated Turtle Treasure, transmitting it into the Tianhe Realm.
"Xuan, you activate the Water Element Dao Fruit and refine it."
Returning, Chen Mobai delivered the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo to Luo Yixuan, offering guidance.
"Yes, Master!"
Luo Yixuan nodded, promptly summoning the Water Element Dao Fruit that Qing Nu had bestowed upon her. Following the mantra from the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture, she transformed it into mystical blue Immortal Light to envelop the sword embryo.
Observing the scene, Chen Mobai gradually withdrew the Saintly Virtue Pure Light that bound the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo with his Divine Sense.
During this process, the sword embryo’s aura soared continuously, but under Chen Mobai’s precise control, it smoothly broke through the limits after integrating with the Water Element Dao Fruit.
Upon ascending to Rank-6, the sword embryo’s spiritual nature greatly increased, unable to restrain a roaring Sword Sound erupting from the seabed, causing the waters stretching thousands of miles around to churn.
"A bit too unruly!"
Watching this, Chen Mobai frowned slightly. This area was the center of the Mysterious Sea Spiritual Pivot, with many precious underwater Spiritual Medicines, making the sword embryo’s impulsive behavior and resultant waves problematic.
At that moment, Chen Mobai began to understand the necessity of Cultivating Void and the reasoning behind Ascendance.
Rank-6 magic artifacts can unleash the power of Cultivating Void, yet even the weakest strike poses a catastrophe to ordinary people.
In comparison, the destructive power of Divinity Transformation hasn’t reached the level of world-destroying.
Considering this, Chen Mobai willed his Divine Sense, and the Primordial Clock descended from the Law Domain, instantly suppressing the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo, immobilizing the newly born Rank-6 sword, and calming the tsunami it caused.
"Please forgive me, Master. I failed to control the sword embryo."
Luo Yixuan immediately bowed to apologize.
This sword embryo’s spiritual nature was nurtured step by step by her, and despite reaching Rank-6, it recognized her as its master, yet its temperament was indeed somewhat unsteady.
"The sword is still young, educate it well in the future."
Chen Mobai also understood the mood of the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo, recalling his own youthful impulse upon just starting Cultivating Void and nearly being carried away by Ascension Radiance.
"Thank you, Master!"
Luo Yixuan nodded, raising her hands to touch the rejuvenated Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo, reestablishing communication with the sword spirit after Rank-6.
After being reprimanded by the Primordial Clock, the Mysterious Nether Sword Embryo realized its limitations and instantly established Clear Heart of Sword with Luo Yixuan, obediently accepting the influx of her True Qi.
Once Luo Yixuan completed the rekindling, Chen Mobai also retrieved the Primordial Clock.
"Henceforth, the sword embryo is considered mature. From now on, let’s name it the Mysterious Nether Sword."
Upon hearing this, the Mysterious Nether Sword trembled slightly, sensing the disappearance of the Primordial Great Dao’s suppression. A sword spirit with long black hair covering her face manifested on its blade, turning to bow to Chen Mobai: "Thank you, Venerable, for bestowing the name."
After expressing gratitude, the Mysterious Nether Sword trembled lightly and fell into Luo Yixuan’s palm.
This sword, after ascending to Rank-6, was entirely blue like Mystic Ice, its chill retracting inward, with a strand of Saintly Virtue Pure Light hidden in the sword’s spine, balancing its piercing cold.
Luo Yixuan refined it into her body, feeling a perfect compatibility with it.
"The Fire Jade Heart Lotus is still nurturing; it might need some time to reach Rank-6."
Chen Mobai referred to another of Luo Yixuan’s magic artifacts, and she repeatedly expressed satisfaction with reaching Rank-5, not wanting to waste the Master’s time.
"No worries. I need to attend to some matters before Ascendance, so it can continue nurturing for now."
Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that there was time, and under the Saintly Virtue Pure Light in Purple Cloud Palace, the Fire Jade Heart Lotus would eventually ascend to Rank-6.
This time, Luo Yixuan, having Heard the Dao through the Immortal Water Spirit Root, ended up in the Netherworld, proving that this method cannot assure entry into the Mysterious Sea Eye and contact with Creation Power.
Yet, this might be due to Luo Yixuan’s unique constitution.
Therefore, it would be best to find another person to verify this method.
Among the disciples, only Luo Yixuan practiced Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques, so Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu for recommendations.
"The sect has a Heavenly Water Spirit Root disciple named Sun Hongxiang, who is quite clever. If she reaches Nascent Soul Formation, I plan to accept her as a disciple. Applying Patching Heaven to her would be less draining." Qing Nu did have a recommendation.
Chen Mobai nodded and moved to Northern Abyss City, instructing E Yun to deliver Sun Hongxiang’s information.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, Sun Hongxiang is from Yao Guang Immortal City, her father being Sun family’s current head, Hong He..."
E Yun couldn’t help but provide a reminder while Chen Mobai was reviewing the dossier.
Others might not know Hong He’s status, but as part of the Five Elements Sect, how could E Yun not be aware!
"Oh, is she the daughter of an acquaintance?"
Hearing this, Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised.
But what surprised him more was that Hong He had become the family head of the Sun family, being an outsider?
