Zhou Shengqing's Entrustment
After Chen Mobai returned to Giant Wood Ridge, he sensed that the Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein here were constantly surging, as if being swallowed by an invisible Black Hole, flowing endlessly towards the Longevity Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion.
As the rich spiritual energy surged, occasional showers fell from the sky.
The rainwater contained abundant vital energy, which fell on the Spirit Plant. The newly sprouted buds gradually turned tender green and vibrant with life.
This is a strange phenomenon of Zhou Shengqing absorbing the Water Element Essence, indicating that his Longevity Sutra has reached the eighteenth level of perfection, and he only needs to Nascent Soul Formation Success to enter the nineteenth level.
When Chen Mobai arrived, he sensed a vast and boundless spiritual power covering the void near where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion. Judging from this spiritual power alone, it could already be said to be at the Nascent Formation Soul stage.
"Senior Brother Zhou."
Chen Mobai stood before the Longevity Wood at the very center of Giant Wood Ridge and bowed to Zhou Shengqing, who was sitting cross-legged above it.
"Junior Brother Chen, you have truly worked hard in this great battle against the Nan Xuan Sect. If you hadn't returned in time after Core Formation, I probably would have had to come out of seclusion by now."
Zhou Shengqing was at a critical moment in the formation of his Nascent Formation and could not move. However, as long as the process of Core Shattering Nascent Formation had not yet begun, there was still room for him to back out.
However, among the Core Formation Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland, only a handful can reach this stage. Even if they fail to Nascent Formation and die, they will still grit their teeth and take this step forward without hesitation.
"Without the support of the sect, I would not have been able to reach the Core Formation stage, let alone experience hardship."
Chen Mobai had deep feelings for the Divine Wood Sect, and while they were talking, he asked about Zhou Shengqing's Nascent Formation.
"The spiritual energy has already accumulated to overflowing level. With just a thought, I can shatter the Golden Core and begin the Nascent Formation. But once this step is taken, the hope of success is slim."
"I was worried that if I failed to Nascent Formation, Junior Brother Fu alone might not be able to support the Divine Wood Sect. So I left a will, asking him to return to the Five Elements Sect with Junior Brother Mo after I pass away."
"But now that you Core Formation, even if I die, with the two of you, the Divine Wood Sect can still stand firm in the Eastern Wasteland. I can finally put aside my distracting thoughts and wholeheartedly take this final step."
As Zhou Shengqing spoke, his tone was full of satisfaction. Chen Mobai met his gaze from below, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After 23 years of hard work and diligent cultivation under the protection of the Divine Wood Sect, he finally became a pillar of the sect.
From now on, he will be the one to protect the sect.
Chen Mobai was also a very responsible person. He believed that the Divine Wood Sect deserved great credit for his achievements, and since he had received the sect's kindness, he had an obligation to repay it after he had made progress in his cultivation.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhou. As long as I live, the Divine Wood Sect's legacy will not be broken in my hands."
Chen Mobai said firmly.
"I understand your feelings, junior brother. Keep this letter."
Zhou Shengqing had watched Chen Mobai cultivate to his current level step by step, and he never doubted the latter's loyalty. He even felt that although this junior brother was young, he was Fu Zongjue in his dealings with people.
"Senior brother, this is..."
Chen Mobai received a letter that Zhou Shengqing had tossed out from his sleeve, and couldn't help but look puzzled.
A suicide note? "This is my letter of apology and repentance to Zhou Ye. If the Xuanxiao Dao Palace really launches a massive attack and you and Junior Brother Fu are unable to stop it, take the sect and this letter to the Five Elements Sect. Also, take my ashes back with you and place them next to Master's tombstone."
This is the worst-case scenario. Even if Chen Mobai reaches the Core Formation, he still wouldn't be confident of victory against the alliance of the Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Light Cliff, a powerful Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Great Sect like Xuanxiao Dao Palace.
Zhou Shengqing will definitely Core Shattering Nascent Formation. This is the most intense method of Nascent Formation a Nascent Soul. Once this step is taken, failure means death. Even if he stops halfway, he can only survive for a few more days at most.
This was also a way out that Zhou Shengqing left for the Divine Wood Sect with his dignity and death.
"Senior brother's skill is profound; he will surely Nascent Soul Formation Success."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai realized Zhou Shengqing's good intentions and immediately said that it sounded nice.
"I have a Nascent Soul Pill left by my master, two Nascent Soul Formation Experience, and the Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra that you obtained from the Longevity Sect, junior brother. Compared to other Core Formation Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland, my chances of Nascent Formation are already very high."
Zhou Shengqing revealed another secret.
Nascent Soul Pill!?
This was a pill that Chen Mobai had never heard of before, but judging from the name, he knew it must be a miraculous elixir to help with Nascent Formation.
Zhou Shengqing truly lives up to his reputation as the direct disciple of the Primordial Ancestor; he even possesses this skill.
Just as Chen Mobai was thinking about how abundant the resources were in the Sky River Realm, Zhou Shengqing had already revealed all his thoughts on the current situation during this period.
"As for the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, Junior Brother Chen, you don't need to worry too much. Old Ancestor Jin Feng doesn't have much lifespan left, and every time he makes a move, he will live a few years less."
"If he really comes to the Eastern Wasteland, we can use the Grand Array of Giant Wood Ridge to deplete at least ten years of his lifespan. It's such a bad deal that even if he is willing, the elders of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace will not agree to it."
"However, since you have killed Nan Xuanjing, Xuanxiao Dao Palace will definitely send Core Formation Cultivator scores again to save face. At that time, they probably won't use the simple and brutal means of war as they have now."
"But that's no big deal. If I Nascent Formation, they'll have to go back the way they came. If I die, you can just give up the Hong Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Xiao Kingdom to the Xuanxiao Dao Palace."
"If they push their luck, we'll give up the Lei Kingdom, the Yun Country, and the Yu Country as well. We'll just keep the Jian Country and the Giant Wood Ridge. Among your group of disciples, Yin Qingmei and Hong He may be less talented than you, but they still have a good chance of Core Formation."
"We'll endure until you all Core Formation, and by then, Old Ancestor Jin Feng will have died of old age. Then we'll uproot the Xuanxiao Dao Palace's influence in the Eastern Wasteland and take back all the territory that was taken from our sect."
Zhou Shengqing's words were truly insightful.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but admire it. This was the best strategy he had come up with to deal with the Xuanxiao Dao Palace after studying the ways of governance and warfare at the Sky Mending Dao Academy.
"I have taken your words to heart."
"Junior brother, I can't attend your Core Formation Ceremony, so please accept this gift as a congratulatory gift."
Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Zhou Shengqing threw down another wooden box. Chen Mobai solemnly accepted it and thanked him respectfully.
After returning to his own Longevity Wood Dao Field.
Chen Mobai immediately opened the wooden box. Anything that Zhou Shengqing, before Nascent Formation Soul stage, could give him must be his most prized possession, possibly even the most precious treasure of the Divine Wood Sect.
"This... is indeed a precious and valuable item..."
Chen Mobai looked at the four booklets in the wooden box and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
These are Zhou Shengqing's compilation of the first to Fourth Grade of Talisman Master inheritance, two Nascent Soul Formation Experience insights, and his own complete understanding of the Longevity Sutra and his contemplation on the threshold of Nascent Formation.
This is extremely precious to the Divine Wood Sect and even the entire Eastern Wasteland.
If Yan Shaoyin were to Returning Heaven Valley in exchange for these Nascent Soul Formation Experience, he would probably be tempted.
But for Chen Mobai, these were like chicken bones (meaning they were useless).
He has as much Nascent Soul Formation Experience Immortal Sect.
Needless to say, the lineage of Talisman Master is exceptional; the Immortal Sect even have Fifth Order.
Only the last booklet was somewhat useful to Chen Mobai.
After all, the Longevity Sutra is undoubtedly the sect's most treasured technique of the Divine Wood Sect. Moreover, it was personally cultivated by Zhou Shengqing and revised in combination with the original Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra, making it the most suitable Wood Attribute technique for cultivation at present.
Although the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai's body has been dissipated by the Two Aspects Technique, if he wants to continue cultivating the Longevity Dao Body, he still needs to combine it with the Longevity Sutra Scripture.
If he ever has the chance in the future, he might even need to find a way to relearn the Longevity Sutra.
Only by combining the Longevity Spiritual Power with the Longevity Dao Body can one master the "Longevity Technique" among the Twenty-Four Great Techniques of the Longevity Sect. This is a secret technique for prolonging life that even the ascended great power, the True Monarch Yi Yuan, painstakingly mastered.
With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai read through Zhou Shengqing's revised Longevity Sutra Zhou Shengqing.
This appears to be the original text passed down to Zhou Shengqing by the Primordial Ancestor, which includes a preface.
It is said that after the Primordial Ancestor obtained the Dao Fruit inheritance from the True Monarch Yi Yuan, although he understood all the essence of the Primordial Dao Fruit, he still needed to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Power to re-evolve and evolve the Primordial True Qi in the order of the generation and transformation of the Five Elements.
The Primordial Ancestor himself cultivated the Wu Tu Method, and later he collected cultivation methods of the other four elements. Among them, the Longevity Sutra of the Wood Element was found by him in the Giant Wood Ridge according to the inheritance of the True Monarch Yi Yuan.
This Longevity Sutra created by the True Monarch Yi Yuan after he personally practiced the Longevity Technique. He felt that this ancient Great Art was too obscure and difficult, so he used his own cultivation and wisdom to break it down and provide simplified steps for entering the path.
The Primordial Ancestor found and cultivated to the Core Formation Perfected at Giant Wood Ridge, and then took Zhou Shengqing as his disciple to pass on his legacy.
The Longevity Technique is the foundational method of the Ancient Longevity Sect. It is said that upon mastering it, one can receive teachings from the Heavenly Venerable. If my disciple Nascent Soul Formation Success in the future, he can attempt to combine the Longevity Sutra with the Longevity Dao Body to explore the secret realm for traces of the Heavenly Venerable.
This was the last sentence left by the Primordial Ancestor. Chen Mobai recalled the excited expression on Zhou Shengqing's face when he presented him with the Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra. Clearly, this was where he learned about it.
But this Heavenly Venerable is no good!
Chen Mobai thought of his encounter in front of the Great Dao Tree and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Back then, the Great Dao Tree was powerless against the Purple Lightning Sword, but now that it Core Formation, it can control the Purple Lightning Sword Human Sword Mutual Control and unleash even greater power. So, should it explore the most mysterious place in the Divine Tree Secret Realm again?
But after thinking it over carefully, Chen Mobai felt it was better not to be arrogant.
He is now the patriarch of the Divine Wood Sect, possessing the territory of the Seven Kingdoms of the Eastern Wasteland. In the future, Spirit Stone resources such as spirit stones will continuously flow into his hands. As long as he cultivates step by step using these Immortal Sect, and with the knowledge inheritance from the immortal sect that is several dimensions beyond this place, he is guaranteed to at least Core Formation Perfected and Nine Yang Physique.
We're already on the right track; there's no need to take risks for a possible shortcut.
With his thoughts clear, Chen Mobai continued reading.
After Zhou Shengqing revised the Longevity Sutra, it was indeed more refined and detailed than the version he had obtained from the sect's Scripture Pavilion.
In addition to adding the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Art, the Spirit Light Absorbing Soldier Art, and other powerful spells and secret techniques from the Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra, there are also some.
Zhou Shengqing even added a conjecture about the Twenty-First Layer, making it possible to cultivate this technique to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, whether it can be successfully mastered still needs to be verified.
Hopefully, it's Zhou Shengqing himself who can verify this.
After reading it, Chen Mobai offered another blessing, and then read through the first to Fourth Grade Talisman Master inheritances and the two Nascent Soul Formation Experience.
Although the content was somewhat rough, some of the knowledge still caught his eye. After memorizing it, Chen Mobai put it back into the wooden box.
Within the Divine Wood Sect, inheritances of the Third Grade and above are all personally guarded by Core Formation Cultivator.
Zhou Shengqing had previously given Fu Zongjue a copy of these as well. Combined with the Crimson Flame Sword Art that he had taught Chen Mobai, as well as his Core Formation Experience, it could be said that the entire foundation of the Divine Wood Sect had been opened to him.
If the business declines in the future, these can be auctioned off.
After Chen Mobai put the wooden box into his storage bag, he suddenly had a rebellious idea, but he immediately shook his head.
Although he came from the Immortal Sect and never hoarded his knowledge, he still had to adapt to local customs. Since Zhou Shengqing had entrusted these things to him, he had an obligation to preserve them and pass them on to Yin Qingmei or Hong He after they achieved Core Formation, thus fulfilling his responsibility to spread the Dao.
However, his idea was not wrong. If these were placed in the Eastern Wasteland, especially the two Nascent Soul Formation Experience, all the Core Formation Cultivator would fight tooth and nail for them.
I just hope that one day the Divine Wood Sect will never need to sell these things.
Thinking this way, Chen Mobai took out the original Crimson Flame Sword Art that Zhou Shengqing had given him.
Although he Core Formation his core using the Pure Yang Scroll, he still needed to disguise himself as having the Crimson Flame Sword Art in the Sky River Realm. It is said that this technique has some connection with the Sun Bathing Sea.
It was because of this that the Primordial Ancestor and the Old Ancestor Bai Wu of the Sun Bathing Sea became acquainted after a fight. The latter mistakenly thought that the former had stolen their sect's techniques. After the Old Ancestor Bai Wu was beaten up, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and the two became close friends despite their age difference.
The founder of the Sun Bathing Sea also came from a major sect in the Eastern Lands. Thousands of years ago, it was said to be Holy Land with a Nascent Soul cultivator presiding over it, called the Burning Heaven Pure Land.
Unfortunately, during a great calamity, the Nascent Soul cultivators perished, and this Holy Land was shattered. Some of the disciples fled to the Ruined Land and created the Sun Bathing Sea.
