Chapter 1850 - 923:

After playing with it for a while, the Earth Mother Seal appeared on Zhuo Ming’s brow, and the Yuan Magnetic Force covered the Five Transformations Umbrella. Then, in Chen Mobai’s surprised gaze, this very heavy umbrella suddenly became as light as a feather in her palm.

"Ming’er, you truly have exceptional talent in earth attribute cultivation techniques!"

Chen Mobai couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement at the sight.

It’s important to know that this is the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, where the authority of the earth is in the hands of the Little Yellow Dragon Girl. When Zhuo Ming first arrived, even All Things Spiritual Communication couldn’t do anything.

But after staying here for two or three years, she managed to overcome this restriction.

"It’s still necessary to rely on the Earth Mother Seal..."

Zhuo Ming shook her head, indicating it wasn’t her skill. The Earth Mother Seal she condensed with her Comprehension Path Golden Core contains endless profound mystery. As her cultivation level increases, it will gradually merge with her, guiding her to comprehend even more advanced Earth Element Great Dao.

Although this Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion belongs to the Yellow Dragon, the Little Yellow Dragon Girl, being Chen Mobai’s contracted spirit beast, wouldn’t prevent Zhuo Ming from communicating with the Earth Pulse Spirit here. Despite this, Zhuo Ming still needed to use the Earth Mother Seal.

Next, Chen Mobai upgraded the Golden Jade Axe to Third Rank Peak. He even inscribed nine Magnetic Prohibitions according to Zhuo Ming’s characteristics. Each time Zhuo Ming activates one, it can enhance her power to shatter a mountain.

Finally, there was the cloak made from monster beast fur, which was also a defensive magic weapon. Previously, Chen Mobai refined three pieces and gave them to his two disciples and Yin Qingmei.

"Master, having the Five Transformations Umbrella and Golden Jade Axe is enough for me; it’s better to give the cloak to Zhi Ling."

Zhuo Ming spoke up, saying that as a Rank-3 Body Forging cultivator, the cloak’s defensive properties had little impact on her. If given to Han Zhiling instead, she would be invincible in the Foundation Building Realm.

"It’s up to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn’t insist and simply returned the cloak to Zhuo Ming.

Then he mentioned the Earth Network Great Formation and Fifth Rank Spirit Vein. Zhuo Ming didn’t hesitate, expressing that she would follow his instructions, but she confessed her limited understanding of formations and was afraid of making mistakes.

"Everything starts from ignorance. You are intelligent and, in terms of talent for ground arrays, second only to me. Under my careful guidance, you’ll soon become a Rank-4 Array Master."

Zhuo Ming’s Earth Mother Seal was akin to Chen Mobai’s Earth Spirit Realm and would even surpass the Earth Spirit Realm as her cultivation advances, making her progress in studying ground arrays no slower than Chen Mobai.

The best method for teaching formations is to combine with practice.

Chen Mobai spent a whole year and a half leading Zhuo Ming across the Eastern Wilderness plain and plateau, covering the Mysterious Five Elements Array and Direct and Inverse Nine Palaces Formation planned on his map.

Their final stop was Yin Qingmei’s arena at Liu Jia Mountain.

There was also a planned Jiugong Immortal City here, and Chen Mobai happened to visit to upgrade the magic artifacts for Yin Qingmei, his foster daughter.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Yin Qingmei greeted Chen Mobai with a face full of joy, but because Zhuo Ming was present, she dared not call him ’Foster Father.’

"Good, your cultivation has advanced quickly and with solid foundations."

Seeing Yin Qingmei had already broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage, Chen Mobai was very pleased. Practicing the Deity Transformation Technique and nourishing the Lifebound Spirit Plant accelerated her speed impressively.

"It’s mainly due to the Sect Leader’s Haotian Mirror shining its light."

Yin Qingmei spoke with a smile. The Haotian Mirror gathered Solar Essence, condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi, and accelerating the growth of spirit plants. Her Azure Jade Phoenix Tree thrived, thanks in part to this.

"In that case, I’ll upgrade your magic artifacts as a reward..."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai took the Haotian Mirror and extracted a full Pure Yang Purple Qi from inside, sealing it into a glass tube.

Because Yin Qingmei wasn’t a disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, her magic artifacts were relatively humble.

The Haotian Mirror wasn’t hers, and her remaining monster beast cloak and Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian were granted by Chen Mobai.

Her Lifespan Artifact was the Azure Jade Phoenix Tree, which even the most skilled artifact refiner couldn’t upgrade.

After upgrading the Qingzhu Yin Xu Jian and cloak to Luo Yixuan’s standard, Chen Mobai inquired about her cultivation over the years.

Although Chen Mobai hadn’t practiced the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, he was at Nascent Soul Realm and many cultivation issues were universal. If he wasn’t sure, he could search the Guidance Book and check the Heavenly Calculation Bead for answers.

Among the next generation of disciples in the Five Elements Sect, Yin Qingmei and Zhuo Ming were the most likely to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, so Chen Mobai’s rare visit was naturally filled with concern.

"Sect Leader, I still have an Azure Wood Elemental Pearl..."

After solving Yin Qingmei’s cultivation doubts, as she saw Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming planning to leave, she hesitated for a moment and then presented a glowing azure treasure bead.

She received this when she was in Foundation Establishment at the Magic Treasure Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

It was a crystal formed from pure Wood Spirit Qi, which, upon refining within oneself, enhanced vitality, assisted body forging, and enlivened divine sense.

Initially, to express gratitude, she intended to give it to Chen Mobai, but he declined to accept.

"This pearl is used by the Longevity Sect to condense the Wood Spirit Body External Incarnation. Over the years, it has already integrated with your essence, qi, and spirit. I’ll impart this grand spell to you. If you achieve Nascent Soul Formation in the future, this Azure Wood Elemental Pearl can evolve into your External Incarnation, equivalent to a Second Nascent Soul."

At the time, Chen Mobai hadn’t fully received the Longevity Sect’s legacy, resulting in his limited understanding of the Azure Wood Elemental Pearl. Now he immediately recognized its true purpose.

The first realm of External Incarnation, Heavenly Marrow, requires energy from heaven and earth to condense the root-bone. For example, Chen Mobai accidentally drew Power of Void from the Void Stone to refine it, resulting in a Void Spirit Body.

Cultivators of Five Elements Immortal Scripture from the Longevity Sect would condense the corresponding attribute Five Element Spiritual Energy, and if they had a core reliance item, we can say that the process in the Heavenly Marrow Realm was much more efficient.

The Azure Wood Elemental Pearl is a crystal formed by Everlife Wood absorbing Wood Spirit Qi for a millennium, fit just for such purposes.

However, only those who cultivate the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture can refine it to foster an External Incarnation.

If External Incarnation is cultivated to the extreme, it’s equivalent to the Soul Incarnation.

Chen Mobai suspected that the Yi Yuan True Monarch’s Soul Incarnation left behind was actually an External Incarnation.

"Thank you for granting the technique, Sect Leader!"

After listening to Chen Mobai’s detailed explanation of cultivating an External Incarnation and its five great realms, Yin Qingmei paid deep respects with a demeanor full of gratitude.

She felt fortunate she recognized the extraordinariness of her foster father decades ago and knelt in prostration. Otherwise, the Deity Transformation Immortal Scripture and mystical grand spells like External Incarnation might not have been so easily imparted to her.

After leaving Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming passed through Northern Abyss City, where the five disciples were rarely gathered together.

"Soon, I will need to seclude myself for a long period. The Five Elements Sect will rely on you for protection."

Chen Mobai spoke to his four disciples, and Liu Wenbo and the others nodded respectfully.

The decade is nearly here, and the portal must be fully opened!
