Chapter 1682: Chapter 847 Breaking Divine Light
Upon hearing Yu Shuji’s terms, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but be shocked.
The ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Hua County can be said to be one of the foundational assets of the Star Heaven Dao Sect. Managed for thousands of years since the establishment of Eastern Wilderness, it now possesses its current scale, bringing them over 30 million Spirit Stones in income annually, making it a hallmark of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.
Of course, for Chen Mobai, the amount of Spirit Stones now no longer affects his emotions.
But crucially, these ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice are the only territory in Eastern Wilderness not controlled by the Five Elements Sect.
Even if Chen Mobai has now achieved Nascent Soul status, if the Star Heaven Dao Sect disagrees, there will be no way for him to take over this land.
This issue has been lingering in his mind.
Now the Star Heaven Dao Sect has given this condition, causing him to hesitate.
But after thinking it over, Chen Mobai could only sigh and shake his head.
“Please seek someone else more capable. Our Five Elements Sect has departed from the First Origin Dao Palace since the Primordial Ancestral Master.”
After all, Chen Mobai is only in the early stages of Nascent Soul; the path to Divinity Transformation is still tens of thousands of miles away. The matter concerning the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill is clearly a game between the largest forces of East Continent, and perhaps a probe by the other three Holy Lands towards the First Origin Dao Palace. If he really gets involved, he might end up as cannon fodder.
Yu Shuji, hearing this, did not insist.
He left with the people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, but before leaving, he mentioned that the terms would remain unchanged, and if Sect Master Chen ever wishes so, he can contact them anytime.
Qu XiuXian stayed behind to handle the remaining cooperative matters between the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and the Five Elements Sect.
Since Chen Mobai has already formed his Nascent Soul and the development of Northern Abyss City has exceeded expectations, the Starry Sky Commerce Guild decided to establish a branch here, with her as the person in charge. Besides purchasing various resources from Eastern Wilderness, they will also sell what they have collected from other regions of East Continent here.
Additionally, concerning the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, since Back to Sky Valley has already merged with the Five Elements Sect, the Starry Sky Commerce Guild’s future cooperation can only be with the Five Elements Sect.
Regarding this, Chen Mobai thought it over and decided to maintain the status quo for now.
The Five Elements Sect now needs to quietly assimilate the territory of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. Before that, it’s unnecessary to have too many entanglements with the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
Qu XiuXian is a Golden Core Cultivator; whoever liaises with her must be at least Golden Core as well.
After thinking it over, Chen Mobai called Luo Yixuan over.
After arranging the tasks at hand, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate.
…
“Brother, you really rolled out the red carpet to come pick me up!”
At Wangwu Cave Heaven airport, Ming Yuhua was delighted to see Chen Mobai coming to fetch him.
“Haha, haven’t seen you for decades, you haven’t changed a bit.”
Seeing Ming Yuhua, as warm and cheerful as ever, Chen Mobai was reminded of their days at the Dao academy in their twenties. His personality tends to be cautious and quiet towards strangers, but Ming Yuhua’s lively and outgoing nature brought their group of freshmen together into a cohesive unit.
Although now, the group from their Metaphysical Class rarely speaks, the bond they built during college has deepened and become more solid with time.
“Where’s old Yun? Wasn’t he supposed to be here earlier?”
As the two waited in a private lounge, Ming Yuhua asked after taking a cup of tea from Zhuang Jialan.
“The flight was delayed, but he should be arriving shortly.”
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Hua Zijing walked in with Yunyang Bing.
The three meeting was naturally filled with emotion.
A new batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills has just been brewed by the Immortal Gate, under Ying Guanghua’s personal supervision, completed in just one short year.
Upon receiving the notification, Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing immediately headed toward Wangwu Cave Heaven.
Chen Mobai, as the host, of course, needed to entertain them.
However, the host was Zhongli Tianyu. Chen Mobai also invited Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, making it a gathering for their group of alumni.
In the evening, they all gathered at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, near the Zhongli Residence.
“Not to boast, but our class of 5012 will definitely be historically remarkable on the Dao academy records. Besides old Chen, there will be at least three or four more Nascent Souls.”
Ming Yuhua confidently sipping wine, naturally self-assured.
Yet, the talents of Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu left him admiring.
The two, in his view, are destined to become Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Aside from them, Ming Yuhua also believes in his potential for Nascent Soul.
“Just Chen alone is sure to leave a mark in the school’s history.”
Yunyang Bing remarked, and everyone nodded in agreement.
“How could that be…”
Chen Mobai immediately humbled himself, but the feeling of being the focus at such a class reunion was a long-lost sense of satisfaction for him.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ming Yuhua began to talk about the hectic work after graduation.
“I’m telling you, but keep it a secret.”
“Our First Military Factory has been researching something called ’Breaking Divine Light.’ As the name suggests, this divine light can pierce through any formation restriction, rendering them into formless weapons.”
“This was a strange divine skill that the Immortal Gate encountered during the first opening war. At that time, in the neighboring different world, there was a race known as the Three-Eyed Tribe. They were the royal family of the other world, and the third eye on their forehead possessed the ability to destroy all laws.”
“The project at our First Military Factory is to refine the eyeball of the Three-eyed King into a magic artifact, aiming to harness the power to destroy all laws. ’Breaking Divine Light’ is our result; it is about sixty to seventy percent of its essence. We’ve tested it on a Rank-4 defense restriction, and it can be easily broken down. Although it can’t completely penetrate a Rank-5 one, it can open part of it…”
Upon hearing Ming Yuhua’s words, everyone present was shocked, with eyes wide open.
Rank-4, that equated to the power of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Doesn’t this mean that if a Nascent Soul Cultivator were struck by this Breaking Divine Light, they would instantaneously face death and have their Tao dissipate?
It could even harm a Huashen Zhenjun!
How powerful the Three-Eyed Tribe was, how did the Immortal Gate win the opening war?
Everyone looked toward Chen Mobai; the content of the opening war was considered the highest level of secret within the Immortal Gate. Only he could access it among those present.
“I didn’t expect that you had already reached such a level of research.”
Chen Mobai, by now snapping out of the shock from the Breaking Divine Light, spoke with a sigh.
Ming Yuhua was selected to participate in the Breaking Divine Light project due to his exceptional talent in artifact refining during his time at the Daoist Academy.
He had always been curious, and after reaching Nascent Soul Formation, he could finally review all of Ming Yuhua’s files. Although he knew about Breaking Divine Light, he did not believe much could be studied from it.
After all, the eyeball of the Three-eyed King had been with the Immortal Gate for thousands of years, yet countless individuals before had attempted without success to unlock the secret of destroying all laws.
Who could have known, the First Military Factory actually accomplished it through artifact refining!
After pondering for a moment, considering the Immortal Gate’s opening war was not far off, unlocking these contents wouldn’t be against the rules, so he started speaking up.
“During the first opening war, the Five Ancestors of the Immortal Gate displayed all their divine secret skills; Cailing Ancestor of the Repairing Heaven Institute sacrificed her life to seal the passage between the two worlds, and only then did the remaining four ancestors manage to slay the Three-Eyed Tribe’s king.”
“Even so, just a few years after the war, our Daoist Academy’s Ancestor Yunya passed away meditating due to severe wounds. It was said to be from a single strike of the Three-eyed King’s power to destroy all laws.”
“If Breaking Divine Light could be applied to the battlefield, then during this opening war, we’d at least have a trump card.”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, everyone was thoroughly shocked in the eyes, except for Zhongli Tianyu, who remained unfazed, seemingly already knowing this history.
“Can this Breaking Divine Light be mass-produced now?”
Chen Mobai asked another question, prompting Ming Yuhua to immediately take out a dim grey glass bead.
“This is an experiment sample, containing a trace of Breaking Divine Light…”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and backed away from him, causing Ming Yuhua to smile awkwardly before putting the glass bead away.
“I came to Wangwu Cave Heaven this time primarily to deliver this item to Xianwu Hall, as the First Military Factory has always been financially supported by them for research on Breaking Divine Light, so I need to present some results as a phase contribution to higher-ups.”
“Could I have a look at it?”
Chen Mobai pointed to the glass bead, and Ming Yuhua immediately nodded, handing it to him.
“Not to worry, precisely because this thing is dangerous, the outer shell of the glass bead is made with the latest alloy material. Our First Military Factory merged minerals from Di Yuan Star tens of thousands of times before ultimately developing this combination that could block the Breaking Divine Light.”
Despite Ming Yuhua’s reassurances, Chen Mobai still took out a Formless Puppet before receiving the glass bead from him.
However, since he dared not open it, one could only perceive nothing with the naked eye, and eventually returned it to Ming Yuhua.
But from Ming Yuhua’s words, Chen Mobai also captured another key piece of information.
“Does the First Military Factory have many mineral materials?”
After returning from the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai ordered mineral from Di Yuan Star online, but only 2683 types were available.
While these were enough to upgrade the All-things Altruistic Cauldron to Rank-4, more would always be better.
He initially intended to ask the mineral resource management bureau about it; now hearing Ming Yuhua speak, he realized the artifact refiner definitely knew this field better.
“Of course, aside from those few remaining extinct minerals, we have 3996 types of mineral samples at the First Military Factory.”
Upon hearing Ming Yuhua’s reply, Chen Mobai smiled slightly and expressed his intention to refine the Primordial Yang Cauldron, seeking materials more tailored to his own characteristics, desiring a perception test with different minerals.
“That’s easy, leave it to me!”
Ming Yuhua immediately assured full responsibility.
