Chapter 1130: Chapter 622 External Incarnation (12,000 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Chapter 1130: Chapter 622 External Incarnation (12,000 Monthly Votes Additional Release) Zhou Shengqing’s soul was lodged within a Soul Nourishing Wood at the peak of Rank-4, and Chen Mobai instructed Zhuo Ming to take care of it periodically.
As a Spirit Plant Master of Zhuo Ming’s realm, it didn’t take many visits to recognize the rarity she was tending to–the treasure of heaven and earth before her.
The fact that Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could transform a Legal Body Nascent Soul was also recorded in the Divine Wood Sect’s archives on spirit plants.
Thus, within the entire Divine Wood Sect, aside from Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue, Zhuo Ming was the third person to be aware of Zhou Shengqing’s condition.
However, this was mainly because Zhou Shengqing often offered guidance while she tended to the plants, and over the years, the two of them had developed a relationship that was both mentorship and friendship.
Therefore, after learning about the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique, Zhuo Ming’s first thought was whether it could induce a breakthrough in the peak Rank-4 Soul Nourishing Wood.
At this, Chen Mobai also was extremely excited.
“Xuan, you stay behind to watch over the house. Ming’er, follow me for a trip,” Chen Mobai said as soon as he finished speaking, multicolored clouds had already swept up Zhuo Ming, turning him into a streak of light as they headed towards the Longevity Wood Dojo where Zhou Shengqing was.
“To think there exists such an Immortal Technique!”
Zhou Shengqing’s specter was summoned by Chen Mobai, who couldn’t help but get excited after hearing about the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique.
At this moment, he could no longer feign the air of a detached sage in front of Zhuo Ming, and he anxiously paced around the Soul Nourishing Wood.
“Ming’er, communicate with this spirit plant and see, if we use the technique to trigger its breakthrough, what the likelihood of success might be,” he said.
Being a plant close to Rank-5 quality, and possibly the only one in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but proceed cautiously.
Zhuo Ming nodded gravely and then employed her All Things Spiritual Communication ability.
Soon after, she opened her eyes, which were slightly relaxed, and under Zhou Shengqing’s tense gaze, she nodded firmly.
“It is already the pinnacle of Rank-4 and has long accumulated enough power to break through. It’s only because it was brought out of the Yin World Underworld that it has become stuck at this bottleneck.”
According to the communication by Zhuo Ming, as long as the Soul Nourishing Wood could break through, upgrading it was almost a sure thing, with around a seventy to eighty percent chance of success.
“Good, Ming’er, start preparing for the Soul Nourishing Wood’s breakthrough. I will also consult another expert,” he said.
After returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo, Chen Mobai took out the piece of the Soul Nourishing Wood where Elder Ming had settled and asked her about the Soul Nourishing Woods’ ascent.
“I have a Rank-4 peak Soul Nourishing Wood. If I bring it into the Yellow Springs Path and use the Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth grand spell to trigger its breakthrough, what do you think the odds of success are?”
Elder Ming was an expert in Soul Nourishing Wood and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth technique, so upon hearing Chen Mobai’s question, she nodded with certainty.
“For a peak Rank-4, if it can absorb sufficient Yellow Springs Yin Qi, it’s almost certain to succeed in breaking through.”
Hearing Elder Ming’s words, Chen Mobai was relieved.
He was about to transport himself to the Great Dao Tree to elevate the grade of his grand spell when Elder Ming hesitated and then decided to speak up and stop him.
“Saint Heir, if the breakthrough of the Soul Nourishing Wood to Rank-5 is triggered within the Yin World Underworld, it will set off a frenzy of Yin Qi that could attract the arrival of a Rank-4 Ghost King from the depths of the Yellow Springs…”
A Rank-4 Ghost King was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although Chen Mobai was confident in his Pure Yang Scroll, he wasn’t willing to face such an entity for the sake of a plant’s advancement. The gap of a great realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Chen Mobai didn’t want to take that risk.
“Without the Yellow Springs, if the Soul Nourishing Wood were to break through in the Living World, wouldn’t that mean there’s no 100% success rate?” he hesitantly asked, to which Elder Ming nodded but then offered a solution.
“If I were to possess your disciple’s body, I could control the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power and artificially create a small Underworld environment to aid the Soul Nourishing Wood’s breakthrough. The odds would be very high,” she said.
Hearing Elder Ming’s suggestion, Chen Mobai finally understood why she reminded him of this issue.
His brow furrowed involuntarily!
“Don’t worry, Saint Heir. I can make a Dao Heart oath that I will not do anything to harm your disciple. As soon as the Soul Nourishing Wood successfully advances, I will immediately leave her body,” Elder Ming assured.
After hearing her promise, Chen Mobai shook his head.
“I will discuss this matter with Xuan. If she’s unwilling, I won’t force her,” he said.
After he finished speaking, Chen Mobai put Elder Ming away and then activated the Turtle Treasure to transport himself in front of the Great Dao Tree.
Standing before the towering Great Dao Tree, he felt as if he had returned to his own backyard. Operating a Formless Puppet that displayed Foundation Building strength, he reached the tenth step.
Green leaves fell, infusing powerful thoughts.
This time, he finally had a grand spell from the Longevity Sect that could empower the Great Dao Tree.
Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth quickly ascended to Rank-2.
Then, he withdrew the Formless Puppet and walked for a second time to the tenth step in front of the Great Dao Tree…
After doing this four times in a row, he easily upgraded both One-Leaf Blindness and Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth to Rank-3.
Then came the fifth time.
He took out a Heavenly Calculation Bead that had a slight crack.
The Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash’s true intent that had been stored within had long been fully understood and integrated into his own cultivation.
He only needed the external materials to be ready, and he could cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue to Great Perfection!
But as for the “Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,” over the years, Chen Mobai had yet to gain any understanding of it.
Such a realm of Sword Dao had already surpassed the limits of the Eastern Wilderness, and even within the Immortal Gates, the head of the Sword Control Department at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zuo Gong, could not hope to catch up to it.
Therefore, Chen Mobai had no one to consult, and it remained within this Heavenly Calculation Bead.
After clearing the memory of the Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai used this bead to store the Rank-4 Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth realm.
But this Grand Spell seemed far more profound than the Extreme Sun Slash, and the slight crack on this Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead had now deepened.
Chen Mobai estimated that in just two or three more uses, it would be rendered useless.
He resolved that in the future, unless it was an essential Grand Spell, he would not use the empowerment of the Great Dao Tree.
After all, for him, the Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash was enough.
Although he did not know the exact function of the “Longevity Sword Intent of Sky Severing,” since it was “One Sword Births Ten Thousand Laws,” keeping it was never a mistake. Perhaps it could be used someday at the Immortal Gate to maintain his facade as a peerless Sword Cultivating Genius.
Chen Mobai thought about how he could get the Repairing Heaven Institute to custom make another Rank-3 Heavenly Calculation Bead for him and then once again activated Turtle Treasure, returning to the heart of Giant Tree Ridge.
“Master, I am willing!”
At the peak of Xiao Nanshan, after Chen Mobai finished telling Luo Yixuan about the Soul Nourishing Wood, the latter nodded in shock, realizing she had learnt the sect’s biggest secret, and was willing to contribute to the cause.
“The sect and your master will not forget your contribution.”
Chen Mobai nodded solemnly to Luo Yixuan, then handed over the Soul Nourishing Wood inhabited by Elder Ming to her.
“Saint Heir, the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power at the Foundation Building Realm might not be enough to level up the Soul Nourishing Wood to Rank-5…”
After each had sworn a Dao Heart oath, Elder Ming suddenly spoke again, causing Chen Mobai’s brow to furrow in displeasure.
“Are you trying to take this opportunity to form a core with Yellow Springs Spiritual Power? If you do that, wouldn’t Xuan be condemned to only walk the path of a ghost in the future? I’ve put so much effort into sealing away her Yellow Springs Spiritual Power for nothing!”
“Saint Heir, there is actually a perfect solution to this. You could teach her the Immortal Technique ‘External Incarnation.’ After I form my core with the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, she could use this technique to refine me into an ’embodiment.’ This way, not only could I become her guardian, but also I could break free from my current predicament and begin my cultivation anew.”
Elder Ming delivered a speech that left Chen Mobai scratching his head.
What is an “External Incarnation”?
“The All Laws Persona that the Saint Heir is cultivating is an External Incarnation. It is one of the twenty-four Grand Spells I teach, and since the Heavenly Sovereign’s body cannot move, this spell is often used to venture out. When the cultivation of an External Incarnation reaches its zenith, it becomes ‘Law of Heaven and Earth’.”
After listening to Elder Ming’s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood.
However, he really hadn’t expected that the most powerful All Laws Persona of the previously dominant Wangu Gate in the Eastern Wilderness’s Five Elements Sect, when traced back to its origins, would actually be a legacy of the Longevity Sect.
“Could this truly work?”
“Saint Heir, I can swear a Dao Heart oath, as long as I can escape my current predicament and continue with my cultivation, I am willing to become Miss Luo’s guardian embodiment, protecting her throughout her life!”
Elder Ming was ready to take a leap of faith, and this was the only way out she had been pondering over during her years within the Soul Nourishing Wood, based on the limited information she gathered during her brief periods of exposure to the outside world.
“Swear your oath first. As for whether we’ll do it, I need to consider it more carefully.”
Chen Mobai was very calm and was not swayed by a few words from Elder Ming.
“Master, I am willing!”
At that moment, Luo Yixuan, who had been watching silently, finally spoke up.
But Chen Mobai glared at her and then shook his head.
“You are my disciple, and because of me, you were transformed into a Ghost Fetus in the Womb. I must be responsible for the rest of your life. I will only decide after thoroughly verifying the feasibility and ensuring it won’t harm you.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s somewhat stern words, Luo Yixuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
She knew it was her master’s concern for her safety.
“Write down what you want to do in detail and show me the document.”
Chen Mobai said to Elder Ming. If it could indeed be as she claimed, then Luo Yixuan would gain a Golden Core Realm guardian, which would be beneficial.
But for such a matter, he certainly could not take her word for it.
“Yes, Saint Heir!”
Elder Ming was very forthright about it. She had considered this step for a full six years.
She was confident that as long as everything was done her way, there would be no problems.
However, it was fortunate there was the opportunity with the Soul Nourishing Wood. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to bring up this matter.
