Chapter 1462: Chapter 767: Haotian Mirror Level Up

Golden Core Seventh Layer is the last bottleneck before becoming a Nascent Soul.

After Chen Mobai breaks through this bottleneck, it signifies that he will soon become one of the strongest cultivators beneath the Nascent Soul.

From this moment on, the status of Nangong Xuanyu as the number one in Core Formation began to waver.

Many people believe that as long as Chen Mobai also reaches Perfect Core Formation, with his extraordinary swordsmanship talent, he will surely be no less than Nangong Xuanyu, or even surpass him.

Upon hearing this opinion, the students of Pure Yang Academy were displeased and began to engage in fierce debates online.

Chen Mobai also had a group of Crystal Fan, and both sides began to clash.

These matters were brought to Chen Mobai’s attention by Xiao Hei, to which he merely smiled and let it go.

He no longer needed to prove anything in the Immortal Gate; now, he was rightfully the first in talent, and it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Nangong Xuanyu.

After his breakthrough, Chen Mobai received many messages.

He selectively replied to some and then continued to seclude himself in Danxia Mountain under the pretense of consolidating his realm.

Of course, in reality, he went to Liu Jia Mountain.

The Grand Spell, Origin Field Nourishing Fertility, had already completely transformed the Everlife Soil, but after absorbing a vial of Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, the three-level peak Golden Sun Spirit Tree had yet to take the step towards advancement.

Chen Mobai got the notice from Zhuo Ming, saying the best time for advancement had arrived, so he went to perform Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.

“Eh, Ming’er, your Ninefold Law Body has broken through!”

As soon as he arrived at Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai discovered good news. The Zhuo Ming standing before him radiated with vital essence, and with a light step, a deep imprint formed on the ground.

“Reporting to Master, during the beginning of the year at the Spring Festival Cangshan Lake, when the Purple Jade Rice was fully mature and harvested, a persistent thought in my disciple’s mind dissipated, merging with the three hundred mu of Spirit Fields there, receiving the spiritual energy from the ley lines, helping me digest the power of the Nirvana Dan, leading to the natural breakthrough of my Ninefold Law Body.”

Ming’er happily began to explain the reason for her breakthrough.

Cultivating Rank-3 Spirit Rice was Zhuo Ming’s dream after Chen Mobai had imparted knowledge of Agricultural Studies to her. Over fifty years had passed, and she finally achieved this goal.

With the satisfaction that filled her heart, her breakthrough was as expected.

“Very good, very good.”

After listening, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed.

Among the four disciples under him, he had the highest expectations for Zhuo Ming.

After the Body Refining Technique broke through to Rank-3, even if Zhuo Ming could not achieve Enlightenment in Core Formation, she could still ensure successful Core Formation after consuming the Jade Return Pill.

“Master, this is the harvested Purple Jade Rice.”

While speaking, Zhuo Ming also handed over two large Storage Bags to Chen Mobai.

This Rank-3 Spirit Rice was the first of its kind to appear in the Eastern Wilderness and given the value placed on Spirit Rice in this region, if it were carelessly circulated in the market, it would definitely attract attention from various powers.

Especially because this Purple Jade Rice resembled Dari Purple Rice, it could easily lead to questioning by the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

For the time being, Chen Mobai didn’t plan to start a conflict with this overlord of East Yu, so he had no intention of selling and circulating the Purple Jade Rice outside the sect.

Qing Nu had already researched and tested the Purple Jade Rice and confirmed that it indeed had an effect similar to Pure Yang Purple Qi to help break through bottlenecks, though it was very weak.

It was about continuously consuming it for around ten years to match half the effect of Pure Yang Purple Qi.

For Chen Mobai, this was naturally of little use.

But for other cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, it was tremendously effective.

Furthermore, under Chen Mobai’s guidance, Qing Nu combined the Breakthrough Barrier Pill with the Purple Jade Rice to research a medicinal cuisine named Purple Jade Porridge.

Taking this medicinal porridge for about a year or two could help dissolve barriers, and with consistent long-term use, the effect improves until one breaks through the bottleneck.

However, after helping a cultivator break through a bottleneck once, its effects would significantly weaken if consumed again.

Even so, this Purple Jade Porridge could at least raise the overall strength of the Five Elements Sect by one level.

At the very least, figures like Fu Zongjue could use it to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage.

This achievement would definitely be accredited to Qing Nu by Chen Mobai, and he planned to use this event to bring her into the sight of the Five Elements Sect.

By then, when Fu Zongjue and others break through their bottlenecks with Qing Nu’s help, they would probably warmly welcome her to join them as Chen Mobai’s Daoist couple.

After storing the Purple Jade Rice within his Domain, Chen Mobai arrived at the summit of Liu Jia Mountain.

Gazing at the Golden Sun Spirit Tree before him, he closed his eyes to listen with the Echoes in the Void. After a long while, he opened his eyes with regret.

It was indeed extremely difficult for a Spirit Plant to advance.

Even with an environment enriched with Everlife Soil and a vial of Wanhua water, the Golden Sun Spirit Tree was still unable to rely on itself to take the transformative step.

“Ming’er, communicate with it using the All Things Spiritual Communication as well. If there’s no problem, then your Master will perform Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth.”

Chen Mobai’s Echoes in the Void had a broader range of application than Zhuo Ming’s All Things Spiritual Communication, but in the specific scope of Spirit Plants, she was indeed more specialized than him.

After learning about the Immortal Spirit Root, Chen Mobai realized that during her Wen Dao, Zhuo Ming had obtained a top-tier Immortal Technique.

This technique, which practically contained the Great Tao of the Heavenly Earth Origin, could continuously improve with the cultivator’s advancement in realm. Who knows how far Zhuo Ming could go relying on this Daoist Skill?
