Chapter 1198: 659 Chapter Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead Chapter 1198: 659 Chapter Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead As time passed, Chen Mobai noticed that people he knew were gradually aging and dwindling.
Luan Jingsheng and Chansi’s return from Foundation Establishment brought him a long-missed joy.
At least, after they had established their foundations, for the nearly two hundred years to come, whenever Chen Mobai thought of them, he would have two more friends with whom he could converse.
Although the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram was still at the first level, Chen Mobai truly felt that the auspicious Qi blessing him seemed richer than before.
Right after the return of his two old friends, another piece of good news arrived.
Elder Yuanxu called him to say that his Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead was ready, asking whether he wanted it delivered, or if he would rather pick it up himself.
Even though logistics within the Immortal Gate were reliable, this Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead was too important to Chen Mobai, who thus decided to personally make the trip to Xixuan Dongtian.
He was also curious about how far the Daoist Academy had progressed in their research on the Legal Body Nascent Soul, and with a pass from Elder Yuanxu, he rushed there overnight.
“The cultivation principle of the Asura Dharma Aspect has essentially been completely researched; we now just need to find a substitute for the Soul Nourishing Wood.”
After receiving the Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead from Elder Yuanxu, Chen Mobai asked about the progress, and the latter, without any concealment, directly informed him about the current stage of research.
One can only say that a brain nearly at Divinity Transformation makes light work of understanding the Legal Body Nascent Soul.
“There are so many with Golden Core Perfection in the Immortal Gate who must be very interested in this experiment,” Chen Mobai asked another sensitive question.
Elder Yuanxu gave him a glance but continued with his work, simulating various spirit plants, trees, minerals, and jades of the Immortal Gate, to see which could replace the Soul Nourishing Wood.
“Although the Asura Dharma Aspect can also achieve ‘Nascent Soul Formation’, my research has found that after such a breakthrough, all potential is lost, leaving no possibility of advancement.”
“Therefore, within the Immortal Gate, only those who truly have no hope of ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ would crave this method and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.”
“Your talent is so remarkable, a rarity in the world, you must not waste your future,” Elder Yuanxu, considering Chen Mobai part of the Patching Heaven Daoist Academy, rarely shared a few more words, fearing that with his peerless talent, Chen Mobai might actually cultivate the Asura Dharma Aspect using the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.
“Thank you for the guidance, Dean,” Chen Mobai naturally understood this; after all, in the Tianhe Realm, though rare, there were quite a few records about the Legal Body Nascent Soul.
Seeing Elder Yuanxu busy with research, Chen Mobai decided not to disturb him anymore.
He immediately took the Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead and returned to Red Sandstone City.
Having upgraded his gear, Chen Mobai excitedly headed to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
With his cautious nature, he used a Formless Puppet once again to enter the longevity trial.
The Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead proved its worth, as Chen Mobai then enhanced all the spells that could evoke a reaction from the Great Dao Tree to the Rank-4 level.
Among them, he was most satisfied with the advancement of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to “Illusory Thunder.”
If he had a Rank-4 alchemist to help, he could even condense the “Water of Ten Thousand Transformations.”
Besides this technique, the Kindwood Mantra, Jia Wood Jue, One-Leaf Blindness, External Incarnation, Echoes in the Void, and others, were all also elevated to Rank-4.
Of course, whilst the External Incarnation had also been empowered to understand the Heavenly Star Realm, unleashing its Rank-4 potential required a vast amount of Five Elements Essence to achieve the Heavenly Viscus, and Seventy-Two Earth Sha Qi to refine various apertures.
Chen Mobai planned to try passing down the method of condensing the essence of the Five Elements in the Divine Wood Sect after Zhou Shengqing achieved the Legal Body Nascent Soul.
Even if he hadn’t understood the Primordial Dao Fruit by then, he could still enhance the External Incarnation’s Heavenly Viscus Realm with the strength of the entire Divine Wood Sect Monks.
Furthermore, the essence of the Five Elements can be accumulated indefinitely, and even artificially synthesized Earthly Fiendish Qi will need these in the future.
The sooner he passed it down, the faster Chen Mobai’s External Incarnation would reach completeness.
And besides, what if he suddenly understood the Primordial Dao Fruit?
After upgrading all his techniques to Rank-4, Chen Mobai had a sudden whim: could the Great Dao Tree empower one to Rank-5?
The idea excited him.
Rank-5 equated to a level on par with Divinity Transformation!
If he had a Rank-5 technique, he reckoned even a Nascent Soul wouldn’t dare face its sharpness head-on.
But after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still refrained from acting on it.
Because the Great Dao Tree itself was only at the Fourth Stage Pinnacle, he thought it probably couldn’t empower one to comprehend Rank-5 techniques.
Even if it were possible, he worried that his Rank-4 Heavenly Calculation Bead couldn’t withstand the pressure of a Rank-5 empowerment.
Moreover, as someone still in the Golden Core Realm, he feared his heart and mind couldn’t bear being empowered with a Rank-5 technique.
After weighing the considerations, Chen Mobai prudently abandoned this bold notion that had suddenly emerged.
Steps must be taken one at a time; things at Rank-5 could wait until after “Nascent Soul Formation.”
After leaving the Great Dao Tree, Chen Mobai went to check on the puppet factory he had set up in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
Developing the resources of this secret realm had been an idea of his for a long time.
Initially, his plan was to have every Foundation Establishment Practitioner in the Sect touch the Longevity Sect’s three Divine Trees to see if they could speedily extract all hidden heavenly and earthly treasures and Cultivation Technique Manuals, enhancing the Sect’s strength.
