Chapter 2875: Chapter 1337: Taixu Heavenly Book_2
To achieve perfection with the Taixu Dao Body, one needs to integrate all lower Dao related to the innate Taixu. The so-called Void Spirit Body is only a part of it. However, it is the most important and must be cultivated as the first overarching principle of the Dao Body.
Once the Taixu Dao Body is perfected, one can attempt to master the innate Taixu Dao.
Among the four Taixu Heavenly Books, this one is the thickest after being unsealed, even thicker than the other three combined.
And this book is precisely the first volume of the complete set of Taixu Heavenly Books.
Every time Chen Mobai reads these four volumes of the Taixu Heavenly Books, he gains new insights into the realm of Cultivating Void.
Although the improvements become negligible after frequent reading, he never misses any opportunity to increase his foundation.
After another session of comprehending the four volumes of Heavenly Books, realizing there would be no short-term improvements, Chen Mobai thought that in another two years, the Xuanxu Pill would be produced, so he didn’t seclude himself to clarify the Dao, lest he missed it.
Leaving the Law Domain, Chen Mobai decided to take this time to return to the Tianhe Realm.
After all, ten years have passed, and by now, the Five Elements Sect should have reached the Xuanjiao Royal Court.
Eastern Barbarians.
Since the Five Elements Sect announced its expedition to the Mystic Sea, this place has become the most prosperous location in the Eastern Continent Cultivator World in the past decade.
After all, the Mystic Sea is vast and rich in resources, and with the strength of the Five Elements Sect, its conquests left numerous benefits slipping through their fingers, enough for many cultivators to gain advantages.
Thus, after the war began, loose cultivators wanting to get rich on the East Continent mostly came to the front line, the Eastern Barbarians.
And the Five Elements Sect, relying on the treasure ship fleet, unsurprisingly won every battle in the Mystic Sea, leaving countless demonic beasts dead under the fleet and army.
As for the materials from these demonic beasts, except for the core parts which were kept by the Five Elements Sect and sent for artifact refining or alchemy, the rest were packaged and sold to the cultivators from the East Land following behind the army.
Because there were just too many, and the Five Elements Sect now only needed premium items, while the loose cultivators and small sect cultivators didn’t care at all. Obtaining a piece of Rank-2 demon skin and refining a defensive magic artifact meant a significant enhancement in equipment for Qi practitioners.
Thanks to Chen Mobai’s formulation and publication of the “East Continent Magic Artifact Specifications and Standards,” coupled with several public artifact refining sessions in Huozhen Immortal City, the East Continent’s artifact refining atmosphere and level have greatly improved.
Previously, refining a magic artifact with Rank-2 materials had low success rates for a Rank-1 product, and Rank-2 was extremely rare. But now, a 70-80% probability of refining a Rank-1 artifact can be guaranteed, and with good luck, even a Rank-2 artifact might burst out.
Under such circumstances, almost every cultivator who came to the Eastern Barbarians took advantage of this great war to upgrade and enhance their equipment by half a level.
And as equipment improved, they sought even better stuff.
Qi practitioners dream of Rank-2, Foundation Establishment fantasizes about Rank-3, and Core Formation desires Rank-4…
But these materials, even edge scraps, aren’t cheap to buy directly, so naturally, people began to join forces to hunt on the Mystic Sea.
The Five Elements Sect, for their part, turned a blind eye, as the Mystic Sea is simply too large; relying solely on their sect’s strength, even if dispatching all disciples, they couldn’t seize all spirit veins and spiritual islands.
The East Continent cultivators hunting Mystic Sea monsters rightfully reduced the Five Elements Sect’s burden, enabling the army to directly assault the Yellow Dragon and advance straight toward the Xuanjiao Royal Court.
Ten years into the expedition, benefiting from the spoils of war, E Yun and Chen Lingming were allocated sufficient resources to construct three additional Rank-5 treasure ships with different Five Elements properties at the Yunmeng Marsh Shipyard.
Together with the Fire Spirit Treasure Ship previously driven away by Mo Douguang, they formed the Five Elements Sect fleet, along with over a thousand treasure ships of various grades, carrying a million cultivator army from the main sect and affiliated powers, now only 1,200 li away from the Xuanjiao Royal Court.
But upon reaching this point, they encountered the most stubborn resistance.
The powerful Demon Tribe in the depths of the Mystic Sea accepted the Xuanjiao Royal Court’s summons and gathered there, cooperating with the expanded Black Dragon Formation, even able to absorb some Sea Eye power; even Rank-5 treasure ship bombardment couldn’t break through.
When Chen Mobai returned, the Five Elements Sect had been resisted at this front for three years.
Over these three years, the little Flood Dragons under the Xuanjiao Royal Court occasionally made surprise attacks, but with Ku Zhu sitting with the army, there was no fear. Moreover, Zhang Pankong had stayed in the Eastern Barbarians for years, cooperating with large formations and the East Continent cultivators eager for wealth, causing even if the Mystic Sea monsters wanted to divert their attention to attack inland, they left the coastline littered with corpses.
With the main camp secured, Mo Douguang’s Five Elements Sect army wasn’t in a hurry, forming the Five Elements Dao Soldiers Formation with the fleet, advancing steadily, fighting against the Mystic Sea monsters whose numbers far exceeded their own.
“Reporting to the Ancestor, once this last Earth Element Treasure Ship is completed and transported to the front line, Uncle Mo will be able to push the Five Elements Daoist Soldiers Formation to an unprecedented realm, coupled with Elder Ku Zhu’s presence, surely breaking the Black Dragon Formation and reaching the gates of the Xuanjiao Royal Court.”
After returning, Chen Mobai directly sought E Yun, the Sect Master, to learn about the situation, who reported the decade’s battle conditions in detail, then shared his response to the current situation.
“That Black Dragon Formation, from your description at least, is Fifth Rank Peak; the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, even with the Five Elements Fleet and a million cultivators’ mana support, at most can burst with Fifth Rank Peak power. Can it truly be broken?”
Chen Mobai expressed doubt after listening.
What if the Black Dragon Formation is Sixth Rank?
After all, Qing Nu’s true body had gone to the front line to inspect, detecting Sea Eye power with the grounding Sea Suppressing Bead, presumably from the power split off by the Xuanjiao Royal Court’s formation.
“Then we’ll have to proceed gradually, first absorbing all spirit veins and spiritual islands of the Mystic Sea into our sect’s Sky Curtain Earth Network Formation, finally waiting for you, Ancestor, to strike, obliterating the Xuanjiao Royal Court from the Tianhe Realm with thunderous impact from the grand formation.”
E Yun proposed the ultimate plan.
In the past decade, due to the smooth expedition of the Mystic Sea, many extensive spirit veins occupied by monsters were incorporated into the Sky Curtain Earth Network Formation, restoring the formation’s power to 80-90% compared to before the battle against Jellyfish Palace.
Yet in E Yun’s external announcement, it was claimed that the formation’s spirit veins had only recovered to 50%, not only to continue stimulating the sect’s cultivators’ fighting spirit but also to improve the imbalance in sect territory housing prices.
The Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier, the housing prices in the Eastern Wilderness are ten times higher than those in East Wu and Eastern Barbarians combined.
E Yun, cultivated by Chen Mobai into the Sect Master, has foresight, always trying to elevate the housing prices in East Wu and Eastern Barbarians, but with little effect.
After the battle against Jellyfish Palace, due to spiritual energy scarcity, E Yun realized this was a golden opportunity.
While in the Eastern Wilderness, due to the Five Elements Sect revealing possession of the Spiritual Venerable’s Cultivating Void foundation, housing prices surged again, yet with spiritual energy unable to quickly return to peak levels, the housing market hit its coldest period.
Conversely, in the Eastern Barbarians, because of the war absorbing the Mystic Sea’s spirit veins, spiritual energy was the first to recover, even exceeding in total the Eastern Wilderness.
With housing prices several times cheaper, more abundant spiritual energy, easy settlement, house purchase comes with enrollment rights among other conditions, numerous cultivators were guided to buy houses in the Eastern Barbarians, relieving pressure on population, land, education in the Eastern Wilderness.
“Splendid, splendid, after the Mystic Sea expedition, let’s take the Desolate Sea campaign further, balancing housing prices in East Wu.”
Chen Mobai commended E Yun’s painstaking intentions after listening.
He initially wondered why, although the Sky Curtain Earth Network Formation had mostly been restored, the spiritual energy in the Eastern Wilderness remained weak; turned out it was to control housing prices.
Having understood all the situations, Chen Mobai planned to head towards the front line over there.
Preparing to release all those disciples from the Spiritual Venerable Cangliu Sea within the Law Domain.
The foundation of the war formation is the living beings; as long as the demon tribe guarding the Xuanjiao Royal Court is dealt with, that Black Dragon Formation would break without effort.
But the Sea Eye Array of Xuanjiao Royal Court still requires considerable effort.
