Unflinching Duty

After reading the Earth Master Legacy book, Chen Mobai couldn't help but nod in approval.

The lineage at the Mountain Shaking Peak is renowned in the Eastern Wasteland for its body tempering and Earth Master, and indeed it has its unique strengths.

Although not as good as the Immortal Sect, they still managed to figure out the various terrain features under limited conditions, and even guessed the Creation mysteries of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth and the evil energy of the earth. They even had illustrations depicting the landforms and water veins.

Unfortunately, these three books on the Earth Master Legacy only cover the first and Second Grade levels, leaving only related speculations about the direction of further advancement.

Imprinted with the essence of the earth in the Purple Mansion, imbued with the power of mountains and rivers, standing on the vast earth, it is the nexus of the earth's veins, with inexhaustible spiritual power.

This looks a bit like Array Refining into Body.

As Chen Mobai read to the end, he thought of the Underworld Great Formation he had obtained at Lone Soul Ridge.

However, Earth Master and Formation Master are similar professions. There is a saying in the Immortal Sect that the ultimate goal of Earth Master is Formation Master.

After reading the three books on the Earth Master Legacy, Chen Mobai found a line of small print in a corner.

Disciple Song Xishun bows in gratitude to his revered master for imparting the Way.

Who is Song Xishun? Chen Mobai doesn't know him.

But at least we have a clue. If we have the chance in the future, we can investigate along this name.

After reading the last page, Chen Mobai closed the book.

"Master, your disciple requests an audience."

Coincidentally, at that very moment, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan arrived with the Divine Wood Sect's army.

As soon as they landed, they naturally came to pay their respects to their teacher Chen Mobai.

"Come in."

Chen Mobai smiled when he saw his two apprentices.

"Our master displayed his divine power, slaying three Foundation Establishment on the Mountain Shaking Peak with his sword. We were already thrilled to hear about his reputation as the number one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect on our way here."

As soon as Luo Yixuan entered, her fair and delicate face was filled with admiration and respect, especially her bright eyes, which were full of worship and pride, making Chen Mobai feel a little vain.

"Alright, alright, it's just an empty title. Senior Brother Xie from the Sword Cultivation Department has also mastered the Sword Light and is said to be trying to condense sword energy. I am unworthy of the title of the number one Sword Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect."

Although Chen Mobai was young, he remained composed and did not become blinded by his disciples' praise. He continued to speak with great humility.

"Master, this is a letter from Uncle E to you."

Liu Wenbai handed a letter to Chen Mobai, who took it, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.

With the Divine Wood Sect at war with the Mountain Shaking Peak, it was natural to consolidate its forces to avoid being ambushed by other hostile forces hiding in the shadows. Most of the sects that had established foundation- Foundation Establishment in Cloud Dream Marsh, such as E Yun, were transferred back to Giant Wood Ridge.

E Yun's letter outlined the general situation within the sect, and at the end, he made a rather veiled remark.

Old Ancestor Fu has also left Cloud Dream Marsh.

As for whether he returned to Giant Wood Ridge to take charge, or went to fight Ji Zhenshi with Old Ancestor Zhou, no one knew.

After reading the letter, Chen Mobai immediately burned it.

The fewer people who know about Core Formation True Person who has the power to change the course of a battle, the better.

"The battlefield is fraught with danger. Although you are my disciples, it will be difficult for me to take care of you if a real fight breaks out. You can use these two magical Magic Artifact for now. I only have one requirement for you: protect yourselves and then find a way to contribute to the sect."

Chen Mobai took out the Divine Wood Sword from his storage bag and also took off the Azure Scale Armguard on his right hand. These two Magic Artifact were no longer of much use to him.

Moreover, after revealing his Third Tier Magic Tool, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the Mountain Shaking Peak were all avoiding him. It was precisely because of this that in the last pursuit battle, he only assisted the sect cultivators in killing one opponent.

"Master, this is too precious."

Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan dared not accept them, knowing that the Divine Wood Sword and the Azure Scale Armguard were both Second Tier Magic Tool.

"Take these to save your lives. Return them to me after the war is over."

Despite saying that, Chen Mobai had already decided to give the two Magic Artifact to his two disciples.

He had become infamous in this war, and the Divine Wood Sword was no longer a fool to his opponents.

As for the Azure Scale Armguard Magic Artifact, he liked it very much, but to be honest, it was no longer up to his current level.

During the battle of Rolling Thunder Mountain, this Magic Artifact was destroyed by Mu Hanxiong.

Moreover, he also has the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a Third Tier Magic Tool that he no longer needs to hide. Although it is an offensive Third Tier Magic Tool, it also comes with a defensive Mystic Yang Divine Light Shield.

Chen Mobai also has the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk. In terms of defense, the Azure Scale Armguard is indeed of little use to him now.

"This disciple dreams of becoming Sword Cultivator like Master. Why don't you give me this Divine Wood Sword?"

Luo Yixuan spoke first and chose the Divine Wood Sword. She was quick-witted and knew that the Azure Scale Armguard was Apprenticeship Ceremony from Liu Wenbai's family to Chen Mobai as a disciple, and it was only right for her senior brother to take it back.

Moreover, for Magic Artifact of the same grade, defensive ones are more expensive than offensive ones. As the senior brother, Liu Wenbai would definitely have to show magnanimity in front of his teacher, Chen Mobai. He might have to reluctantly give up the Azure Scale Armguard to his junior sister who had just started learning. Therefore, Luo Yixuan directly chose the Divine Wood Sword first to avoid putting Liu Wenbai in a difficult position.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded approvingly at his well-behaved and beautiful little apprentice.

"Some of the scales on the Azure Scale Armguard shattered during the fight with Mu Hanxiong. Wen Bai, you need to be careful when using it. You should have the incantation for its refinement, right?"

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Liu Wenbai didn't actually have the incantation for refining the Azure Scale Armguard, Chen Mobai couldn't help but shake his head at the closed-mindedness of knowledge in the Sky River Realm.

It should be noted that Liu Wenbai is a member of the Liu Family family.

"This disciple will take his leave now."

Just as Chen Mobai was about to impart the incantation for the ritual, Luo Yixuan, as usual, obediently took her leave.

In the Sky River Realm, when a master teaches a disciple, the other disciple cannot be present, otherwise it will be considered as stealing knowledge.

"Xuan'er, stay here. I will also teach you the method of refining the Divine Wood Sword."

Chen Mobai, however, did not have so many taboos.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan raised her delicate face in surprise, but nodded quickly and happily.

This means that Master has truly started treating her as one of his own, giving her the same treatment as Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.

Liu Wenbai learned the technique of refining the Azure Scale Armguard very quickly, after all, it was a magical Magic Artifact crafted by his family. Chen Mobai also shared some of his own experience in using it.

The Divine Wood Sword is even simpler, after all, it is Second Tier Magic Tool standard for the Divine Wood Sect.

For disciples of the Artifact Refining Department to become Second Grade Artifact Refiner, the simplest thing is to refine a Divine Wood Sword.

It's simple and uses plenty of raw materials.

However, Chen Mobai, as the most famous Sword Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect, has his own tricks for using the Divine Wood Sword.

While imparting the method of sacrificial alchemy, he was also giving lessons to his two disciples.

Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbai, who was standing to the side, were both greatly inspired after listening to the story.

"Is Master learning the lineage of the Earth Master?"

After the instruction was completed, Luo Yixuan noticed the Earth Master Legacy's handbook on the table in front of Chen Mobai and asked a question out of curiosity.

"I'm slightly interested. Ming'er's Earth Spiritual Root is quite good. If she has time in the future, she could study it in more depth."

When Chen Mobai said this, he saw that his little apprentice seemed to be interested, so he didn't think much of it and directly gave her the three books of the Earth Master Legacy.

"You can take a look first, and give it to Ming'er directly after you return to Little South Mountain. If she is interested, she can refer to it and learn from it. If she doesn't have time, let her focus on farming and cultivate the Earth Mother Technique."

"Thank you, Master."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan immediately took the three books of Earth Master Legacy in her hands. After flipping through them, her expression became excited, and her eyes revealed unprecedented joy.

The cultivators in the Sky River Realm crave knowledge even more than Magic Artifact.

Luo Yixuan comes from the Luo Family, which is considered a major cultivation clan. However, only the inheritance of the Spirit Beast Master and Spirit Planter can reach the Second Grade. These two are the highest secret techniques of the family, and only a few elders and core male clansmen can cultivate them.

Because in the eyes of the Cultivating Family, women are supposed to marry out of the family and should never pass on the Hundred Arts of Cultivation that the family relies on for survival.

Within the Divine Wood Sect, to obtain Second Grade inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, one must first join one of the Twelve Departments, then accumulate Sect Contribution, undergo relevant assessments, and finally have it approved by Foundation Establishment Cultivator before being allowed to view it in the Scripture Pavilion.

Luo Yixuan has now directly obtained the Second Grade Earth Master Legacy, as if she were dreaming.

She felt deeply that becoming a disciple of Little South Mountain was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

"By the way, this Earth Master Legacy book is a trophy. You can help me look up this Song Xishun and see if there is such a person on the Mountain Shaking Peak, as well as his lineage."

Since Luo Yixuan had accepted the Earth Master Legacy book, she naturally agreed to let her do this small task.

Liu Wenbai, who was standing nearby, also said he would pay attention after hearing this.

Chen Mobai then told them that there were many good things in the market, and that they could buy some of the things they needed as they saw fit.

After his two disciples left, Chen Mobai also went out to attend the mobilization meeting held after the arrival of the Divine Wood Sect army.

Chu Zuoshu naturally sat in the head seat, flanked by Quan Shanlin of the Punishment Hall and Xie Yuntian, the Minister of the Sword Cultivation Department.

After Chen Mobai entered, he noticed Xie Yuntian looking at him. When he looked over, the latter nodded slightly.

Xie Yuntian was neither tall nor thin, neither fat nor short, with an ordinary face, but sharp eyes and an upright posture, giving him the air of a master who was profound and majestic.

Before Chen Mobai, Xie Yuntian was the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect to master Sword Light, and was hailed as the third most outstanding person in the Divine Wood Sect.

This third person could refer to the third person to Foundation Establishment Chu Zuoshu Meng Hong, or it could refer to the third combatant of the Divine Wood Sect after the two patriarchs.

At the mobilization meeting, Chu Zuoshu formulated the next battle plan.

That is to invade the territory of the Yan Kingdom Yan Kingdom and plunder its Spirit Stone Mine.

Although the Yan Kingdom has little forest vegetation, it is rich in various minerals and spiritual objects.

In addition to the precious Void Stone Mine, there are five Spirit Stone Mine of different sizes.

Perhaps due to the earth's veins, there are two such formations not far away, near the border of the Yan Kingdom, which is close to the Lei Kingdom.

It was precisely because of this that Spirit Stone Mine were discovered in Rolling Thunder Mountain. Although the Mountain Shaking Peak was initially somewhat tempted, it did not lose its rationality and launch a direct attack.

Because there is a small Spirit Stone Mine, ten times larger in scale, being mined a hundred miles away from them.

This Spirit Stone Mine provides over a million Spirit Stone stones to the top of Mountain Shaking Peak every year.

It is also one of the lifelines of the Mountain Shaking Peak. If it can be captured, it will be a great victory for the Divine Wood Sect.

"Ji Dingjin's group retreated to that Micro Spirit Stone Mine. If we want to attack the small Spirit Stone Mine behind them, we must first eliminate these cultivators."

Inside the simple house on Rolling Thunder Mountain, Weng Chuanyou, the Deputy Minister of the Spirit Vein Department of the Divine Wood Sect Spiritual Vein Department, used his Magic Artifact to conjure up the terrain of the nearby mountains and pointed to the Spirit Land where Ji Dingjin and other cultivators from the Yan Kingdom had retreated.

"Their number of cultivators is about the same as ours. If we were to forcefully attack Third Grade Grand Array, we wouldn't be able to do it without the Pulse Breaking Bead."

Quan Shanlin calmly analyzed the strengths of both sides.

"I remember that the sect has Third Grade Pulse Breaking Bead."

Fu Huakun spoke up, saying that their Reward Hall was responsible for safeguarding the sect's treasury and was very clear about how much wealth they had.

"The Pulse Breaking Bead is precious; there's no need to use it in this kind of situation."

The speaker was Chu Zuoshu. Although the Great Victory at the Mountain Shaking Peak had achieved great success, once the Pulse Breaking Bead was released, the Spirit Stone Mine was basically ruined. Even with Earth Master to regulate the Spirit Vein, it would take decades to recover.

"If we try to break through by sheer force, it will probably take several months to break the Array Formation."

Xie Yuntian frowned and said, "A prolonged war is also an extreme test for the sect's logistics."

This time, he led 1,200 Qi Cultivation Disciple and piloted 50 Airship. Fifteen of them were loaded with consumables such as Spirit Stone, Talisman, pills, and Spirit Rice, but they could only last for a maximum of six months.

If they can conquer the two Spirit Stone Mine, the profits will naturally make up for the losses. But if they can't, not only will the sect's resources be wasted, but many cultivators will probably die as well.

"Don't worry, the sect has already made a plan for this. Junior Brother Weng came here for this very reason."

Chu Zuoshu, however, remained calm and composed, stating the decision that had been discussed and agreed upon by the higher-ups before the war began.

"Send a small team deep into the Yan Kingdom territory, and then have Junior Brother Weng set up a Small Teleportation Array so that our army can bypass Ji Dingjin's defenses and go straight for the Spirit Stone Mine."

After Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, everyone praised his words.

"Setting up Teleportation Array requires Third Grade Formation Master, a considerable number of Void Stone, and a period of time to connect with the earth's veins. Therefore, Junior Brother Weng is the key, and the number of people escorting him cannot be large; they must be elites."

At this point, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Mobai.

Although the Divine Wood Sect cultivators present were unwilling to admit it, this youngest junior brother, who possessed Third Tier Magic Tool and had mastered Sword Light, was the most elite Foundation Establishment Cultivator present.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you willing?"

Chu Zuoshu asked very politely.

Chen Mobai looked up at the sand table terrain and estimated that the small Spirit Stone Mine where the Teleportation Array was to be set up was no more than a hundred miles away from Rolling Thunder Mountain, which was still within the range of the Lesser Teleportation Talisman.

With his escape route secured, he uttered four words with unwavering certainty.

"We will not hesitate!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with admiration.

He thought to himself, "As expected of Sword Cultivator, they forge ahead bravely without any fear."
