Chapter 2702 - 1242: 6 Pure Bamboo Stalks, 10,000 Lan Spirit Dao Merits_2
However, he discovered that this Rank-6 spirit plant had already merged with the spirit vein of the entire Lanyuan Valley over the long years.
If he wanted to take it away, he must disturb the spirit vein of Lanyuan Valley and the Sixth Rank Great Array.
But in doing so, it would inevitably involve Ku Zhu, who was undergoing Divinity Transformation, and it might even cause failure.
"True Monarch, actually I can take the place of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and become the core of the formation and spirit vein..."
Seeing Chen Mobai’s expression, the Black and White Dual Snakes had already guessed that this God-Transcending True Monarch wanted to take away the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and volunteered.
It wasn’t trying to help Chen Mobai, it was merely thinking about whether it could take this opportunity to escape from Chen Mobai’s control, or even completely take over the Sixth Rank Great Array of Lanyuan Valley. Perhaps it might use the power left by Tianlan Taoist to suppress the God-Transcending True Monarch who had humiliated it.
"Oh, can you do that?"
After hearing its words, Chen Mobai, combining his own knowledge of formations, had already thought of a solution.
While the Black and White Dual Snakes kept nodding, Chen Mobai pushed his Response Earth Spirit realm to the extreme, and even listened to the Six Roots Pure Bamboo with Echoes in the Void, perfecting his plan.
After confirming that there were no issues, Chen Mobai first used the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl to temporarily replace the core of the great array.
The Black and White Dual Snakes cooperated very well on this step, but right after the core replacement was completed, it was dumbfounded to find it had no authority to control the array.
Chen Mobai definitely wouldn’t hand over the array to it, and with his level of formation skills, adding a restriction was a piece of cake.
After the Black and White Dual Snakes’ plans fell through, Chen Mobai unleashed the Primordial Yang Sword. With a burst of dazzling sword light, the upper half of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo was already cut off, but the roots remained in the ground.
Even with only half, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo was still Rank-6, but its effect would be diminished for a God-Transcending cultivator.
But Chen Mobai didn’t need it; for Qing Nu and the others, half was already enough.
After taking away half of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, Chen Mobai marked the spot so that after Ku Zhu’s divinity transformation bore fruit, other disciples of the Five Elements Sect could inherit this separate courtyard in Lanyuan Valley from the West Continent.
Next, Chen Mobai searched among his reserves and found ten-plus Rank-5 herbs he had just dug up in Lanyuan Valley. Using the Technique of Void Transformation, he expanded the soil of this courtyard and buried them.
This place had Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy, equivalent to moving into a mansion for these herbs, making their spirituality more vibrant.
Chen Mobai roughly estimated that a hundred years later, these Rank-5 herbs could mature.
The future disciples of the Five Elements Sect who come to inherit this courtyard will be quite fortunate.
After resetting the core of the array, Chen Mobai took out the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl again.
The Black and White Dual Snakes, with a face of resignation, once again landed in Chen Mobai’s palm.
It had just used all the mantras left by Tianlan Taoist to control the array, but simply couldn’t break through the restriction set by Chen Mobai.
This meant that this great array had been completely deciphered by the God-Transcending True Monarch in front of it.
Who on earth was this ascended God-Transcending True Monarch, so young, with profound cultivation, and even his formation skill had reached the Sixth Rank level?
"Where is the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist?"
Chen Mobai asked about another key point. The sovereignty of Lanyuan Valley undoubtedly belonged to Tianlan Taoist, the ascended monk. After that, it was Ku Zhu and Mysterious Water, this couple, but for legitimacy, cultivating the arts of Tianlan Taoist was a must.
The couple both practiced Divinity Transformation Techniques and certainly couldn’t switch, so they needed to see if there was a suitable one in the Five Elements Sect.
Ideally, it would definitely be their child to inherit.
But it depends if Tianlan Taoist’s cultivation technique is suitable.
"I have it in my memory, and there are jade slips left by the master in the west side hall with his entire inheritance. I can take True Monarch there."
After the episode with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, the Black and White Dual Snakes realized it couldn’t match Chen Mobai, and cooperated immensely willingly.
The west side hall also had restrictions, but before Chen Mobai could speak, the Black and White Dual Snakes began chanting and opened it willingly.
Inside was a cultivation room, with a meditation mat in the middle and a censer on the side, all made of Rank-5 materials, although the artifact-refining technique was subpar, resulting in only Rank-4 quality.
Chen Mobai couldn’t bear the waste of these materials and planned to take them back for refining again when leaving, to be handed to future Five Elements Sect disciples inheriting the Lanyuan Valley courtyard.
The three walls of the cultivation room were lined with wood-colored bookshelves, holding hundreds of jade slips. A scan with divine sense revealed, besides the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist, also what he had collected.
However, they were very ancient, with some even being local legends from the West Continent. In Chen Mobai’s view, many were contradictory, but they could fill the library of the Five Elements Sect and broaden the disciples’ knowledge.
Finally, Chen Mobai focused on the inheritance of Tianlan Taoist.
This ascended monk’s cultivation technique, named "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits," required Wind Spiritual Root to enter, and was a dual cultivation of body and technique.
To Chen Mobai, the technique was average but had its unique features.
According to this technique, after both the primordial spirit and flesh body reach Fifth Rank Peak, one can merge them into one using a secret technique, forcibly breaking into Cultivating Void, stepping into the Great Tao.
Tianlan Taoist succeeded in practicing the void with this, achieving ascendance.
In other words, practicing this technique ensures taking the step toward Cultivating Void.
Since Tianlan Taoist could succeed, the potential for success isn’t low.
However, advantages come with disadvantages.
Through this, the body cultivated through hardship will be devoured by the primordial spirit. Nonetheless, after Cultivating Void, the primordial spirit has stepped into the Great Tao, so even without a body, one could directly let the primordial spirit roam or create an external incarnation. If one desires a physical body, various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects can be used to reform one.
On the contrary, perhaps one could nurture the flesh with the primordial spirit, attempting Blood Rebirth, which was Chen Mobai’s thought after seeing this technique. But he wasn’t sure if it would work.
After thoroughly contemplating the "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits," Chen Mobai noted the core parts of the dual cultivation of body and technique impacting Cultivating Void, analyzing it with the Law of the Five Tones, turning it into his own.
In the Tianhe Realm, it was only he, possessing the Law of the Five Tones, who could achieve this. Other cultivators wishing to impact Cultivating Void with this method must need Wind Spiritual Root and must re-cultivate this "Ten Thousand Mist Spiritual Dao Merits."
This enlightenment took another two months.
When Chen Mobai opened his eyes, he found that the censer beside the meditation mat had been lit, with tendrils of ethereal fragrance rising, making him feel calm in heart and mind.
After asking the Primordial Yang Sword Sword Spirit, Chen Mobai knew it was the Black and White Dual Snakes who lit it, and the incense was brought from another side hall.
Being so considerate, it became somewhat difficult to make a move.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai hesitated slightly.
He initially felt that the Black and White Dual Snakes would hinder future Five Elements Sect disciples in inheriting the Lanyuan Valley courtyard and planned to deal with it when leaving.
However, thanks to its immense cooperation, Chen Mobai benefited greatly, and felt slightly embarrassed to act now.
"Come here, I’ll give you two choices."
In the end, Chen Mobai called the Black and White Dual Snakes over and spoke.
One choice was that Chen Mobai would take it away and accompany the chosen disciple of the Five Elements Sect to inherit Lanyuan Valley in the future.
The other choice was to stay in Lanyuan Valley, where Chen Mobai would merge it into the remaining Six Roots Pure Bamboo as the spirit of the array. When a disciple of the Five Elements Sect came with Chen Mobai’s token, it had to recognize them as its master.
"What about this treasure pearl..."
The Black and White Dual Snakes glanced at the Yin Yang Treasure Pearl in Chen Mobai’s palm. Under Chen Mobai’s amused gaze, it swallowed the last half of the sentence and chose the second option.
It was a bit afraid of Chen Mobai and felt that staying behind would be better.
