Chapter 1302: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land_2 Chapter 1302: Chapter 716: The Terrifying Strength of East Land_2 You should know that even within the First Origin Dao Palace, those who could cultivate the Primordial True Qi were very few.
This was also why, when Li Zhongji unexpectedly emerged, it caused both concern and excitement among those from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect and others.
Their concern was that another True God Transformation might be born in the First Origin Dao Palace, and their excitement came from the possibility of gaining another mainstay for the righteous path.
Regrettably, the subsequent developments confused the leaders of these holy lands.
In order to support Li Zhongji, the First Origin Dao Palace requested the Dao Morale Sect to refine a batch of Coagulation Infant Pills, but after the pills were successfully refined, they inexplicably expelled Li Zhongji to the Eastern Wilderness.
Though the Primordial Ancestral Master created a great name in the other four regions beyond the lands of the East, how could those places compare to the core resources of the Eastern Region? Eventually, he stopped at the Nascent Soul Realm and passed away in meditation.
According to the First Origin Dao Palace, they were tempering the Primordial Ancestral Master Li Zhongji according to the standards of a Taoist Saintess.
But most people in the Eastern Lands believed that the sudden appearance of Li Zhongji caused a huge upheaval within the First Origin Dao Palace and, to prevent this wave from splitting the holy land, all the parties decided to send him to the Eastern Wilderness.
However, enough respect was shown to the ancestral master, who was a True Lord Yuan, that a batch of Coagulation Infant Pills was specially refined for him before he was exiled.
It was because of this incident that the various powers of the Eastern Lands speculated that the incarnation of the Primordial Spirit left by True Lord Yuan must have vanished after depleting its strength in a battle with Ming Zun.
Otherwise, no one would dare to treat Li Zhongji this way.
But these details were often considered mere tales.
Ye Qing saw this information while gathering materials about the Eastern Wilderness and mentioned it to Chen Mobai upon his asking today.
Deep down, Ye Qing still felt a great pity.
After all, even in the Eastern Lands, the Primordial Dao Fruit was one of the most supreme Divine Techniques.
If Li Zhongji had stayed in the Eastern Lands and received careful nurturing from the First Origin Dao Palace, he really might have succeeded in the Way of God Transformation.
The Jiutian Dangmo Sect always hoped for the cultivators of the Eastern Lands to be as strong as possible, given that their sect stood as a banner for exorcising demons; if the Eastern Lands fell short in strength and the Demon Path invaded, they would be the first to suffer.
“I hope that one day, I can return the tablet of Master Li to the chamber of ancestors in the First Origin Dao Palace, placing it beneath that of True Lord Yuan.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai echoed Ye Qing’s words.
He showcased his identity as a legitimate successor of the Five Elements and the direct lineage of the Primordial Qi.
Primarily, he was thinking if he, too, had cultivated the Primordial True Qi, whether he could also visit the First Origin Dao Palace someday and see if True Lord Yuan, before his ascension, had left behind any heritage of spiritual transformation or even higher.
After all, although True Lord Yuan originated from the Eastern Wilderness and was a descendant of pioneer cultivators, it was only after moving to the Eastern Lands and interacting with the True Monarchs of holy lands there that he truly accomplished the Great Tao and found his path after his Divine Transformation.
The transmission of Primordial techniques that the Primordial Ancestral Master received in the Eastern Wilderness only went as far as Divine Transformation.
More advanced techniques, even those for ascension, were all held in the First Origin Dao Palace!
“Previously at the Sky Meal Building, I noticed Sect Leader Chen seemed to have cultivated Primordial True Qi. Given your age and realm, you stand a good chance to contest for the position of Taoist Child within the First Origin Dao Palace.”
Ye Qing added another piece of information.
At that time, he assumed Chen Mobai was in a difficult position against Shen Shanqing, making him promptly activate his sword.
Having clashed with the various holy lands’ Taoist Children and Saintesses in the Eastern Lands, he was very familiar with Primordial True Qi and recognized it immediately.
“Far from it, I merely refined a strand of Primordial True Qi left behind by Ancestor Li, which is not the same as cultivating it on my own efforts. I do not deserve the position of Taoist Child.”
Aware of the terrifying strength of the holy lands in the Eastern Lands, Chen Mobai did not wish to be too conspicuous and preferred to keep cultivating in the Eastern Wilderness, maintaining his usual low profile in the Tianhe Realm.
However, he seemed to underestimate the value of the Primordial True Qi.
“In the history of the First Origin Dao Palace, only a handful of individuals cultivated Primordial True Qi from their own bitter cultivation. Those who became Taoist Children and Saintesses had all refined the Primordial True Qi of their predecessors early on, seizing every advantage to compete for resources for Core Formation and even Divine Transformation within the holy lands. But the only ones who have ever rung the Primordial Clock, apart from the Second Palace Master of the First Origin Dao Palace, was the revered Li Zhongji.”
The Primordial Clock was forged by True Lord Yuan before his ascension, gathering the essences of the Five Metals from the Tianhe Realm and traveled far to Nan Zhou to refine it in collaboration with another great moral figure who was also about to ascend.
It stands as one of the scarce Sixth Order Magical Artifacts in the Eastern Region, rivalling the Tai Peacekeeping Sword of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect!
Above all, Li Zhongji was supposed to be a favored son of heaven just like Ye Qing.
“If there’s a chance in the future, I really want to visit the East Land and see if I can ring the Primordial Clock.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai also longed for it.
A Sixth Order Magical Artifact!
Does the Immortal Gate have one?
“If Sect Master Chen plans to undergo Divinity Transformation or even Ascendance in the future, it would be best to come to the East Land and join the First Origin Dao Palace.”
Although Ye Qing was a Saint Land Taoist Child, he didn’t possess the arrogance typical of major sects. Instead, he was very talkative. After this exchange with Chen Mobai, he felt that the young Sect Master Chen might be capable of Nascent Soul Formation in the future, so he kindly reminded him.
“Oh, are there many resources for Divinity Transformation in the East Land?”
“Definitely more than in the Eastern Wilderness, at least the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill that aids in Divinity Transformation can only be concocted by the Dao Morale Sect.”
Ye Qing didn’t speak about Ascension, as that was too distant. He only mentioned the most famous elixir from the Eastern Region that could aid in Divinity Transformation.
This was the first time Chen Mobai had heard of this.
He couldn’t help but yearn from the bottom of his heart. After all, the Immortal Gate also had similar alchemy recipes, but unfortunately, the most precious main ingredients had long been exhausted.
Nowadays, one could only pin their hopes on techniques like the Shocking God Sonata.
It was for this reason that, knowing about the Blooming Moment, Leading Star Ancestor decided to personally intervene, not hesitating to bully the weaker and pry open the mouth of Master Huakai to understand all the secrets of this Forbidden Technique.
“Definitely…”
Chen Mobai, harboring aspirations for the East Land, escorted Ye Qing out of the grand hall.
Then, he called over E Yun and personally arranged the matters of escorting the army of cultivators.
To lead the team, at least a Gold Core was necessary. The Five Elements Sect had many in their ranks capable of Golden Core battle, but after counting, there were only two available, regrettably, both Sheng Zhaoxi and Zhou Ye declined.
Zhou Ye’s refusal was expected since he would not leave Hunyuan Immortal City. Chen Mobai had initially thought that he might give in due to the renown of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, but now it seemed that this master of the Earth Vein still had a clear mind.
He guessed that even the emperor himself couldn’t make him leave the Hunyuan Immortal City before his time of Nascent Soul Formation.
And Sheng Zhaoxi’s refusal was because she was at a crucial moment in enhancing her Lifespan Artifact.
With the Rank-4 Spirit Material acquired through Chen Mobai, she planned to boost her Artifact Refining skills to the fourth rank in one go.
Besides her own Heavenly Circular Fire True Ring, there was also the Angry Sea Bow from Nu Jiang that needed to be leveled up; she really couldn’t spare time.
Chen Mobai showed his understanding.
After all, if Sheng Zhaoxi’s Artifact Refining skills could rise one more level, it would be a great boon for their Five Elements Sect.
If only there were also a Rank-4 Array Master and Alchemist.
“Junior Brother, why don’t I lead the team?”
In the grand hall of Northern Abyss City, Zhou Shengqing, who had just returned from Wind Rain Hamlet, volunteered after knowing his difficulty.
“Brother, your strength needs to be revealed at a critical moment. Plus, I just told Ye Qing that you’re in seclusion, I can’t immediately contradict myself.”
Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, quickly deciding to lead the team himself.
After all, having mastered the Underworld Array, he could escape any dangerous situation at any time.
It would also be a good opportunity to gauge the capabilities of a Saint Land Taoist Child and assess the level of the East Land’s Golden Core Cultivators.
Moreover, he could use the time to conduct a small-scale drill with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.
After all, he planned to utilize this group, during Perfect Core Formation, to prematurely experience the power of Nascent Soul Formation.
