Chapter 1847: Chapter 923
Although the Yi Yuan Dao Palace is a Holy Land, the transmission of cultivation techniques and divine powers is no different from other sects in the Tianhe Realm.
The Five Elements Divine Light is granted at the Golden Core Realm, while the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder is bestowed post “Nascent Soul Formation.” The most powerful, the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam, can only be cultivated by the Palace Master and the Great Elder.
Although Xiao Yuli is the Saintess, if she wants to obtain these two divine powers from the Dao Palace, it would probably take at least a hundred years.
“This… would it violate the rules of the Five Elements Sect?”
Of course, Xiao Yuli very much desired it, because after Chen Lingming was confirmed missing, she had already deduced some things, realizing that she might be quite an eyesore to some people in the Dao Palace. It was even possible that, beyond the Heavenly Tribulation, there could also be a human tribulation during her “Nascent Soul Formation.”
In this case, her hopes of obtaining these two divine skills from Yi Yuan Dao Palace were bleak.
So now that Chen Mobai mentioned it, she was somewhat excited.
“No, here I make the rules.”
Chen Mobai smiled and said something that made Xiao Yuli feel extremely admired; this air of authority over life and death was something she had only seen in the Five Virtues Great Elder before.
At this moment, Xiao Yuli thought that it would be great if this Chen Qing Emperor before her truly was the Taoist Child of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace. In that case, with him shielding her from the wind and rain, she, the Saintess, would surely have time to grow stronger.
Following this, Chen Mobai recited the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder and the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam.
Xiao Yuli memorized every word and sentence, then began to interpret them carefully based on her years of cultivation experience in the Dao Palace.
In the following period, Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City to exchange insights and interpretations with Xiao Yuli.
During this process, Chen Mobai also learned more about the affairs of the Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
For instance, in the current Dao Palace, apart from the Masters of the Five Virtues Mountain, there are also four Nascent Soul Elders from the Outer Sect, making a total of nine Nascent Soul cultivators.
Previously, during Ming Zun’s attack on the mountain, the Palace Master of Yi Yuan Dao Palace utilized the Dao fruit to summon the soul incarnation of Yi Yuan True Monarch. Although Ming Zun was repelled, the Palace Master was exhausted and soon passed away.
That Palace Master was the Saintess from two generations ago. If she had enough time to refine the Dao fruit, Spirit Transformation would not have been impossible.
The Five Virtues Great Elder, on the other hand, was the Taoist Child from two generations ago. After the Palace Master passed, he took over the Dao fruit left by Yi Yuan True Monarch. Under the mountain-sealing circumstances, he guided the previous Taoist Child and Saintess, trying to nurture new blood for the Dao Palace.
The previous generation of Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s Taoist Child and Saintess were not less talented than the current Ye Qing, Zhang Pankong, and others. Under such circumstances, when Li Zhongji, the disciple of Yi Yuan True Monarch, arrived, the Five Virtues Great Elder chose to drive the latter away, ensuring the orthodoxy of the Taoist Child and Saintess.
Unfortunately, they were outmaneuvered by the Demon Path, leading to the Taoist Child’s death in battle and the Saintess’s disappearance.
Subsequently, in the circumstance where the Yi Yuan Dao Palace was yellow with neither green nor ripe, the Five Virtues Great Elder probably had not much lifespan left, so he attempted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, yet still failed and passed away.
“Who holds the Dao fruit now?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but ask.
As an Ascended Monk, Yi Yuan True Monarch, who founded the Holy Land Dao Palace, must have left a Dao fruit as a legacy to ensure the continuity of Spirit Transformation cultivators.
Second and fourth-generation Palace Masters of Dao Palace were Spirit Transformers, which is why the Yi Yuan Dao Palace could maintain its holy position after Yi Yuan True Monarch’s ascendance to this day.
“After the Great Elder passed away, it was the Five Mountain Masters who handled his remains. Although nominally we are his disciples, we were not qualified to approach. Among the Five Mountain Masters, only the Master of Earth Virtue Mountain could cultivate Primordial True Qi. Until I and Senior Brother Chen achieve “Nascent Soul Formation,” he is the custodian of the Dao fruit.”
Upon saying this, Xiao Yuli also sighed.
Back then, she suspected that when Chen Lingming was undergoing “Nascent Soul Formation,” he might have detected some danger, so he deliberately failed.
Considering that the Master of Earth Virtue Mountain did not show up at that time, and the Primordial Dao fruit was in his hands, she guessed that it might have been because the Master of Earth Virtue Mountain wanted to seize the Dao fruit, hiding in the shadows ready to act, or had already made a move.
And now, Chen Lingming’s disappearance only made her more convinced of this suspicion.
“In that case, isn’t the fellow Daoist in great danger?”
Although Xiao Yuli did not state it explicitly, Chen Mobai also realized this from her words and the current situation of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, prompting him to ask.
“I plan to obtain the Three Lights Divine Water upon returning to the Dao Palace, then find an opportunity to leave. As long as I succeed in ’Nascent Soul Formation,’ I can rightfully inherit the position of Palace Master or Great Elder to inherit the Dao fruit. I believe some of the Mountain Masters and Elders in the Dao Palace would support me.”
Xiao Yuli shared her thoughts. Although her talent was exceptional, and she had mastered Primordial True Qi, many talented individuals had historically perished before “Nascent Soul Formation,” so she still hoped to attempt a breakthrough with the help of the Three Lights Divine Water.
This was why she was willing to descend the mountain initially.
Unfortunately, the Star Heaven Dao Sect, to bypass her, directly sent the items to Mount Wudi for dialogue with Yi Yuan Dao Palace.
Nevertheless, within the Dao Palace, although undercurrents abound, most Nascent Soul cultivators uphold the rules, so her hope of acquiring the Three Lights Divine Water and the Coagulation Infant Pill is not small.
As long as she successfully completes the “Nascent Soul Formation,” relying on the Primordial True Qi’s restraint over the Five Elements cultivation techniques, none of the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Dao Palace would be her match in single combat.
