Chen Lingming heard Chen Mobaiâs words and looked troubled, but he knew he had no choice but to comply.
Ever since he formed his Nascent Soul here in Northern Abyss City, there was no turning back for him.
"Rest assured, Young Master Ancestor, I will certainly do my utmost not to disappoint."
Chen Mobai saw that Chen Lingming made the expected choice and couldnât help but nod. However, given there was no foundation of trust between them, there needed to be a constraint.
"Take an oath."
According to Chen Mobaiâs request, Chen Lingming swore an oath with the Five Elements Sect as the central body.
Although he knew that in the Tianhe Realm, there were methods to pass the line from oneself to a disciple to bear in their stead, it was certainly better if it could avoid affecting oneself.
However, the content of Chen Lingmingâs oath mainly concentrated on the Five Elements Sect. Since Chen Mobai was now the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, he could sense a colorful line landing on his Crown of Heaven and Earth.
"Oh!"
Upon perceiving this line, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.
Compared to the other lines on the Crown of Heaven and Earth, Chen Lingmingâs line was remarkable, not only containing multicolored hues but also being brighter and thicker than those of ordinary people.
Chen Mobai compared it to the lines of other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Five Elements Sect and found that even when combined, they barely measured up to Chen Lingmingâs.
The size of the line related to the fate it bore; the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the greater their fate, and the thicker the line. Once there is a causation connection, dissolving it becomes correspondingly more challenging.
Lines of ordinary people are usually non-colored; only cultivators with special fate causations have lines of various colors.
But this kind of colorful line like Chen Lingmingâs was something Chen Mobai had never seen before.
With a thought, Chen Mobai pulled out the lines of several other Saint Land Taoist Children and Saintesses, discovering that although many were thicker than Chen Lingmingâs, they were mostly bright pure colors.
Upon comparison, Chen Mobai was further surprised to find that the thickness of Chen Lingmingâs line was actually comparable to that of Zhang Pankong.
Ye Qingâs line was the thickest, and the link with Chen Mobai wasnât just a single line.
Below Ye Qing was Yuan Zhen; her fate was astonishing for some unknown reason.
However, Chen Lingming, who had just formed his Nascent Soul, already had a line about seventy to eighty percent as thick as Yuan Zhenâs.
Could this be the legendary Great Qi Luck Holder?
No wonder he triggered the Immortal-Slaying Thunder during his Nascent Soul formation!
Chen Mobai couldnât help but think of the protagonists in Immortal Gate novels who, following orders in times of crisis, saved the sect and created another golden age.
He looked deeply at Chen Lingming, who after making his oath, respectfully kept his head down.
"Iâve heard Xiao Yuli mention that you Taoist Children and Saintesses arenât taught the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder and the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam before forming your Nascent Soul. Since youâre going to work for me now and have successfully formed your Nascent Soul, Iâll first impart the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder to you."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out a blank jade slip, inscribed it with divine sense, and then handed it to Chen Lingming.
"Thank you, Young Master Ancestor, for imparting the technique!"
Chen Lingming accepted it with excitement, placing it on the table with great propriety and continued to listen to Chen Mobaiâs teachings without immediately examining it.
"Why did you choose Northern Abyss City to form your Nascent Soul? Are you really at ease with me, not fearing I might stop you?"
Chen Mobai inquired about his doubts. Although there were instances of loose cultivators forming their Nascent Soul in the Seven Great Immortal Cities of the Eastern Land, it was unprecedented in Northern Abyss City.
Moreover, it was well-known throughout East Continent that the Five Elements Sect was vying with Yi Yuan Dao Palace for the rightful title.
"Yi Yuan Dao Palaceâs influence is most powerful in the Eastern Land. Since I needed to avoid them, I had no choice but to leave the Eastern Land. Aside from the Seven Great Immortal Cities of the Eastern Land, Golden Crow and Northern Abyss cities are the most suitable. Compared to Bai Wu Ancestor, your reputation as Young Master Ancestor is superior. However, this successful Nascent Soul formation was truly unexpected..."
Chen Lingming explained his original Nascent Soul formation plan. He had prepared a Rank-4 formation and found a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein in the Ruins, intending to leave the Eastern Wilderness for the Ruins when the time was right to form his Nascent Soul.
Unexpectedly, while meditating one day, the spirituality within his Gold Core was suddenly conceived.
"After leaving Yi Yuan Dao Palace, I could not obtain Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, so I deliberately practiced a technique called the Five Organs Primordial Return Technique. I found a fragment of this technique in a cave in the backyard of Mount Wudi. Itâs unknown which elder of the sect left it, but it allows storing the essence of the five elements within the five organs, assisting the Nascent Soul formation during formation."
"However, possibly due to being a fragment, after the spirituality appeared within my Gold Core, the essence stored by this technique was uncontrollably drawn in, flowing into my dantian qi sea, catalyzing the Nascent Soul formation process."
"If I had stopped, decades of hard work would have been for naught."
"Of course, the most important reason is that youâve built a stellar reputation over a hundred years in the Eastern Wilderness, ensuring the safety of Northern Abyss Cityâs residents."
After Chen Lingming finished speaking, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag, which contained the Five Organs Primordial Return Technique that he had long prepared.
Chen Mobai took it with interest and gave it a try.
This technique indeed helps with Nascent Soul formation, but itâs only applicable to cultivators who practice Primordial True Qi.
Itâs unknown which genius from Yi Yuan Dao Palace created it. When the time comes, I will ask Su Ziluo if she knows.
