Chapter 1916: Chapter 941: Dan Ding Sect, Purple Cloud Palace (2)
Soon after, Qian Xing flew out from the Lingxiao Palace, one finger pointing to the sky, the other to the earth.
The sky and the earth coalesced between his hands, merging above and below.
Finally, the convergence of heaven and earth released infinite light from a resplendent bead, which fell into the spiritual pivots throughout the land.
Qian Xing seemed to have discovered something but did not speak, instead clasping his hands together.
In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if the Dragon God Star was covered by a new layer of heaven and earth placenta, enveloping all creatures on the planet.
After merging the Sky Curtain with the Earth Network, Qian Xing beckoned to Chen Mobai and Yunhai Master, and the two immediately approached him.
“Here is the distribution point of energy in the underground sea of the entire planet’s mineral veins. Have Ying Guanghua arrange for the Immortal Gate’s personnel to excavate all of these completely in the shortest time possible.”
While speaking, Qian Xing conjured a model of the planet. On it were bright spots of light, and with a point of his finger, the distribution and quantity of minerals appeared.
“Yes!”
Since Chen Mobai is part of the Three Great Halls, he took over the planetary model.
“The Spiritual Venerable will take the Star Core when the time comes, but the spirit veins within the Dragon God Star’s land and sea regions can still be extracted and infused into the Immortal Gate. After subtracting the loss, this will allow the Immortal Gate to have enough spiritual energy for an additional Deity Transformation!”
Qian Xing again instructed Yunhai Master, who immediately nodded in agreement. His next task was to use the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation to extract and transport the Dragon God Star’s spirit veins to the Immortal Gate.
Once all the mineral deposits and spirit veins have been removed, the planet will reach its annihilation.
At that time, the Spiritual Venerable will personally take the Star Core.
After giving these instructions, Qian Xing handed the golden bead in his hand to Yunhai Master, who respectfully accepted it. This is the core of the Dragon God Star’s Sky Curtain Ground Network, essential for manipulating the formation to extract the planet’s spirit veins.
After giving both instructions, Qian Xing vanished before the two.
Chen Mobai and Yunhai Master discussed for a moment, but both mining and extracting and transporting spirit veins required more manpower, and relying solely on the Array Masters was insufficient, so they decided to convene a small Nascent Soul meeting.
However, as many Nascent Soul cultivators had already returned to the Immortal Gate, they also returned once through the portal.
In the Xianwu Hall, only half of the Nascent Soul cultivators attended.
After all, Qi Yuheng and Narcissus were attempting Deity Transformation, Beiming Master was protecting the former, while Yuxiao and Yu Yi were uninterested, and Tao Hua and the Three Extremes made excuses to be absent.
Aside from the Nascent Souls of the Three Great Halls, the Patching Heaven group had the most presence.
“Nangong is relatively knowledgeable about the Dragon God Star over there, and I plan to hand over the mining matters to him. What does Pure Yang Master think?”
Ying Guanghua expressed his thoughts with courtesy, asking Chen Mobai for his opinion, as he knew of the enmity between Chen Mobai and Nangong Xuanyu.
“Since this matter has been entrusted to Master Ying by Ancestor Qian Xing, let Master Ying take full responsibility; I have no objections.” Chen Mobai also knew that Nangong Xuanyu was the most suitable candidate. Their grievances had been resolved when Ancestor Qian Xing assigned him to the Dragon God Star, so he nodded.
“The Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation has been set up; insect beasts are no longer a menace. To save costs, I plan to withdraw the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird Dao Palaces and their corresponding war artifacts. What do you all think?”
Ying Guanghua proposed another matter. After slaying the Matriarch, a considerable number of insect beasts remained underground. To protect the Immortal Gate cultivators mining and gathering resources, the Three Dao Palaces continued to suppress three regions of the Dragon God Star. Even though they were not in action, the daily spiritual energy and Spirit Stone expenditures were astronomical, causing Ying Guanghua, who managed logistics, considerable distress.
Now that the formation is complete, the insect beasts could no longer absorb any spiritual energy, and would even be gradually suppressed and exterminated by the Earth Network Formation, so he immediately put forward this proposal.
As a result, it was approved unanimously.
Although they were not responsible for managing finances, they understood well that resources were limited, and saving was necessary.
After retracting the war artifacts, it was time for Ying Guanghua to flex his muscles and for Chen Mobai to take this opportunity to return to the Immortal Gate for some rest.
Since the opening of the portal, because a Deity Transformation cultivator of the Immortal Gate personally ensured order, he had been treading on thin ice, personally attending to everything with unprecedented diligence, and unknowingly, eighteen years had passed.
Chen Mobai could swear this had been the toughest period he had worked in.
Now that he had completed the Earth Network Formation, he could finally take a breather and tend to his personal affairs.
The first was to spend time with his family.
Since Chen Xiaohei formed his core, Chen Mobai had not seen her.
Back in his own courtyard, his family shared moments of warmth and happiness.
While enjoying familial bliss, Chen Mobai also took out Ancestor Yun Ya’s notes to peruse.
The notes recorded many matters regarding the Dan Ding Sect, stating it was a major sect at the White Crane Dao Arena, and its founding ancestor the Dan Ding Taoist originated from the Central Dojo of the Purple Cloud Galaxy.
The Dan Ding Taoist once had the fortune of attending the lectures of Purple Sky Daoist Venerable and obtained the Pure Yang Scroll, “The Union of Differences,” and the two scrolls of Purple Green and Phoenix Seal, reaching the peak of Void Refining, and was but a step away from Harmonization.
Countless thousands of years ago, the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, in his profound understanding of creation, suppressed the Demon Lord of the Star Sacrificing God, and transcended to the other shore.
After the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable’s transcendence, his disciples branched off, even engaging in fierce battles for the method to reach the other shore, leaving the Central Dojo in ruins.
The Dan Ding Taoist, lacking cultivation strength, left the Central Dojo under such circumstances, and sought Harmonization at the White Crane Dao Arena of his friend, Wangji Daojun.
But alas, due to insufficient foundation, he ultimately failed at Harmonization.
However, because of the conflict at the Central Dojo, the Dan Ding Taoist never returned, instead staying at the White Crane Dao Arena to enjoy his years, founding the Dan Ding lineage.
In a certain sense, the Dan Ding Sect could be considered a legacy of the Daoist Venerable.
Chen Mobai could see that Ancestor Yun Ya was very proud when writing these lines.
Since it was a legacy of the Daoist Venerable, why was there no method of the Daoist Venerable?
Chen Mobai muttered to himself and continued to read.
Besides explaining the origins of the Dan Ding Sect, this volume of Ancestor Yun Ya’s notes delved into his understanding of the great method “The Union of Differences.”
Having committed all this to memory, Chen Mobai flipped to the last page.
Surprisingly, it contained information about the Purple Cloud Palace.
It turns out the Purple Cloud Palace was where the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable taught across the heavens.
The Dan Ding Taoist initially was an ordinary Qi Practitioner on a distant planet, and by a stroke of fate, entered the Purple Cloud Palace, sat on a straw mat, listened to the Daoist Venerable preach, and ascended to Nascent Soul, even to Void Refining.
The Purple Cloud Palace would appear in any place in the universe where living beings were born. The Purple Sky Daoist Venerable broadly disseminated the cultivation arts and longevity methods, opening the door to transcendence for all beings.
After the Daoist Venerable transcended to the other shore, the Purple Cloud Palace continued to follow this rule, circulating within the universe.
However, without the Daoist Venerable, even if one could enter the Purple Cloud Palace, at most, they could only gain some insights into cultivation.
There are even rumors that since the Purple Cloud Palace was where the Daoist Venerable sat for the longest time, it might contain the Daoist Venerable’s method to transcend to the other shore.
The reason the Five Ancestors of Xianmen agreed to come to the Earth Element Star was that they knew this planet would see the Purple Cloud Palace revolve around and descend every twelve hundred years.
Purple Cloud Palace!
Chen Mobai silently murmured the term, recalling that during its last descent, the True Yang leader perfected his Primordial Spirit, more than 1100 years ago.
This means in just another 100 years, he will be able to witness the true descent of the Purple Cloud Palace.
This is yet another opportunity.
It might even be the chance for Deity Transformation.
With this in mind, Chen Mobai closed Ancestor Yun Ya’s notes and made a mental note of this occurrence.
But during the last descent of the Purple Cloud Palace, did the Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate enter it?
Chen Mobai considered this further.
Perhaps in the future, he should ask White Light Ancestor about this. With this thought in mind, he took out the slip for comprehending the Immortal Sect Sword Art.
But before that, he needed to further refine his sword dao.
