Chapter 1292: Chapter 710: Improved Version of the Underworld Array Chapter 1292: Chapter 710: Improved Version of the Underworld Array Following the guidance of Wen Ren Xuewei, Chen Mobai easily cultivated the Rank-2 Five Elements Spirit Soil after several attempts.
Afterward, he filled a basin with the Five Elements Spirit Soil and returned to the Tianhe Realm, bringing it to Rainbow Country.
Zhuo Ming carefully planted a branch of the Five Elements Spirit Tree, and after half a month of meticulous care from both teacher and disciple, the jade branch finally emitted a growth aura and sprouted its first roots within the soil.
Following this step, everything else became rather simple.
All that was needed was sufficient Five Elements Spirit Soil. Once the tree was fully rooted and sprouted, it would absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Energy and flower into fruits.
However, to complete this step, at least a hundred years were required.
Even if the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations was used to speed up the process, Rank-4 or higher Five Elements Spirit Soil was needed, along with a vast supply of Five Elements Spiritual Energy.
As for these, Chen Mobai took note of them, planning to implement them one by one later.
After all, whether it was the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations or Five Elements Spirit Soil, the technology obtained from the Immortal Gate was very mature; the only step left was to implement them in Tianhe Realm.
As for resources like Spiritual Energy, they were even easier to obtain.
After all, Tianhe Realm was abundant in resources, especially items like Golden Crystal and Life Stone, which are essences of the Five Elements.
Once the branches of the Five Elements Spirit Tree had sprouted roots, Chen Mobai was reassured. He instructed Zhuo Ming to take good care of it while he returned to Immortal Gate.
In the lab at Red Dawn Institution, he continued to cultivate a sufficient amount of Five Elements Spirit Soil based on his successful experience.
Although the Five Elements Spirit Tree branch was currently just a potted plant, it was bound to grow into a towering tree, so Chen Mobai decided to prepare enough Five Elements Spirit Soil in advance.
Fortunately, once the Five Elements Spiritual Energy was infused into the Inorganic Soil, he only needed to check on it occasionally, otherwise, Chen Mobai really wouldn’t have had the time.
At the summit of Danxia Mountain.
Under a towering Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and looked at the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone in his hands, showing a satisfied smile.
The cultivation speed had indeed increased after using the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone with his Pure Yang Daoist Body.
And it wasn’t just a slight increase but a significant boost of five to six times.
What he had initially estimated to take about ten years to achieve a perfected state of the body of eight Yangs, now could be accomplished in less than two years.
It just so happened that his cultivation level of the Jindan Sixth Layer would reach its peak by next year. Adding on the time to cleanse his essence, Qi, spirit, and neutralize any risks from Dan Poison using the Flame Lighting Technique, it aligned perfectly without delaying his breakthrough to the later stages of the Gold Core.
After completing his daily basic cultivation practices, Chen Mobai put back the almost unspent Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.
He then took out a silver-white Array Plate with a corner missing.
This was something he had obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge previously, and it was part of the core of the Underworld Array.
Chen Mobai had already consulted Elder Ming about this formation, but it turned out not to be a Heavenly Sovereign Technique, it was a technique of the Netherworld’s Ghost Mother.
Before the Heavenly Sovereign ventured into the Netherworld, the supreme ruler of the Underworld was known as Ghost Mother, a Great Divine Power Wielder.
The Ghost Mother and Water Mother jointly oversaw the Underworld and the Living World respectively, the former regarding the Underworld as her residence, thus in the ancient times, the Underworld was also known as Netherworld Mansion.
As the lord of the Netherworld Mansion, Ghost Mother was inherently immensely powerful in her divine skills, yet she still sought to further her power, to control life and death, to Refine the Void and Merge the Paths.
Therefore, she wanted to expand the Netherworld Mansion to eventually engulf the entire Living World!
But in comparison to the Mother of Water, Ghost Mother’s divine capabilities were still slightly inferior. After the great battle, she was defeated and perished, and since then, the Netherworld Mansion had no ruler.
The Underworld Array was originally developed by Ghost Mother to expand the Underworld by transforming her divine powers.
Because as the lord of the Netherworld Mansion, Ghost Mother could teleport to any part of the Underworld at will. If she could expand the Netherworld Mansion to cover the entire Tianhe Realm, then all of the Nine Heavens and Ten Worlds would be within her domain.
After Ghost Mother’s demise, the Netherworld Mansion was breached by the Mother of Water, releasing many unique treasures of extreme Yin, including various Ghost Cultivator divine skills.
Among the eighteen sects of the Demon Sect, the Spirit Capturing Demon Sect originated from a junior cultivator who had been entrusted with the remnant soul of Ghost Mother in Bone Jade.
He was misled by the Bone Jade acting under the remnant soul of Ghost Mother, practicing ghost techniques in the form of a human, wandering endlessly between the Underworld and Living World, gathering the scattered divine soul of Ghost Mother that had been shattered by the Mother of Water.
Generation after generation passed on the teachings until the ancient times, when the Summoning Souls and Capturing Spirits Large Array was completed, gathering parts of Ghost Mother’s True Spirit scattered across Bi Luo and Huangquan, causing the lord of the Netherworld Mansion to descend once again into Tianhe Realm.
Fortunately, at that time, the Eastern Emperor Court of the East Land was at its peak.
The Human Emperor, leading the Hall of Ten Directions with the aid of the Holy Land, defeated the combined forces of the Demon Sect, dismantled the Capturing Spirits Large Array, and scattered Ghost Mother’s True Spirit again, suppressing this great calamity with overwhelming power.
However, after this catastrophe, the Human Emperor had to ascend, leading the Eastern Emperor Court from prosperity to decline, laying the groundwork for its eventual disintegration.
Following the calamity of Ghost Mother, as the instigator, the Spirit Capturing Demon Sect was naturally annihilated by the Eastern Emperor Court and the Righteous Path factions, at that time, any text related to Ghost Cultivation in the East Land had to be completely eradicated.
Should it be discovered that anyone, even a disciple from a Holy Land, was secretly harboring such texts, they would be brutally executed.
Once, a Taoist Child from a Holy Land, out of curiosity to study the difference between ghost techniques and the laws of the Living World, secretly kept a copy of the Ghost Mother Scripture. This was discovered by a jealous junior and reported.
